The June Robinson Memorial Hike for Huron Hospice Has a New Location This Year

by Bob Montgomery

This year's June Robinson Memorial Hike for Huron Hospice will be held at the Rotary Cove in Goderich.

After walking, hikers are invited to join in a BBQ at the Wheelhouse. Manager of Fund Development Christopher Walker says they're excited to change the hike location and celebrate another wonderful Huron County walking route, the Goderich Boardwalk. Walker says they want people to spend time outdoors with family and friends, and the Boardwalk is an ideal spot.

Since 2018 hiking leader June Robinson recruited her family to hike and raise money for the Hospice. June passed away in 2022. Her family and hospice staff agreed it was important to recognize her impact by naming the event The June Robinson Memorial Hike for Huron Hospice. Board Chair and hiker Lisa Taylor says the hike is an important fundraiser for Huron Hospice. “Money raised stays in Huron County and is used to pay for essential services like nursing, home hospice care, and loss and grief support for children, youth and adults.

The Hike will begin at 10:00am with a light warm-up. Families can also participate in a beachfront scavenger hunt and other games. Local gyms will lead folks in a series of low-impact challenges.

Family and friends can form teams to obtain pledges and hike. To register for the hike, go to the Huron Hospice website, www.huronhospice.ca and follow the links.
