Community Care Northumberland has raked in a grand amount of money through an event that supports its local hospice centre.
The Hike, Bike and Bark event raised $72,840 in support of Ed’s House Hospice Care Centre, thanks to the generosity of participants, sponsors, volunteers and donors across the region.
Held on September 27 at Victoria Park in Cobourg, this year’s event brought together 200 participants, along with over 50 of their four-legged friends, to walk and ride for the families and individuals who turn to Ed’s House for comfort, dignity and support during life’s most difficult moments.
Funds raised will help to cover the integral end-of-life care that Ed’s House provides to its residents, and their families free of charge.
Community Care Northumberland and Ed’s House extend its sincere thanks to CPS Wood Products, the first-ever Presenting Sponsor of Hike, Bike and Bark, whose support helped make this year’s event possible.
