4th Annual Hike for Hospice
June 7, 2026 – Silver Lake Park, Port Dover.
We invite you to join us for the 2026 Hike for Hospice, a community-driven walk in support of the future Norfolk Haldimand Community Hospice. Together, we honour loved ones, celebrate hope, and raise essential funds to bring compassionate hospice palliative care closer to home. Lace up, lift up, and be part of something truly meaningful.

Norfolk Haldimand Community Hospice – Hike for Hospice

On Sunday, June 7, 2026, join the Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis community at the Hamilton walk to raise awareness and funds for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis research, programs, and advocacy.

Together, we’re marking 30 years Gutsy Walk; three decades of courage, community, and impact; and every step you take helps move us closer to cures.

Local Highlights
We’ll have pre packaged snacks plus delicious Boston Pizza available. Cool off with an ice cream truck, and don’t miss out on prizes and fun games happening throughout the day!

This year, not all participants are required to check in. Participants only need to come to the Check-in area if they are:

Submitting cash or cheque donations;
Picking up their Gutsy Walk t-shirt and/or star reward;
Picking up lunch tickets (if applicable)
All Gutsy Walk t-shirts will be picked up on event day. Participants who are not submitting donations or picking up items may go ahead directly to the event site.
