This May my goal has been to hike or run a total of 12,000 meters of elevation over the month—not only as a personal challenge, but also to support and raise funds for the Sea-to-Sky Hospice.
Over the last several years, as a volunteer with the organization, I've had the privilege of spending time in the hospice unit and connecting with community members experiencing grief. I've witnessed first hand the comfort and support provided by the Hospice's services—and I've also seen the dedication and care that is poured into providing those services. Hiking 12,000 meters in a month seemed like a challenge, but considering the daily efforts of the Hopsice staff or the difficulties that an end of life transition can present, it really is nothing to compare.
If you've got a few dollars to spare, your contributions to the Hospice will go a long way in supporting their services. To learn more about what they do you can visit their website here.
