Renfrew Highland Pipes and Drums bagpipers lead the way for the start of the Hike for Hospice. The participants were estimated in the couple hundred.

The ninth edition of Hike for Hospice set another record. The amount raised for Hospice Renfrew May 3 has surpassed the fundraising goal, says event co-ordinator Connie Legg. “The aim was $65,000 for the hike,” said hospice board chair Legg. The money will help to keep the doors open. “We have six beds and it’s all free of charge. The hospice is to offer endof-life-care,” she said. The record amount was $65,809.65. This is an increase from the $63,000 raised last year. Legg estimated about a couple hundred people participated. Teams looked for pledges from families, friends and online. The number will likely increase in the coming days as other donations will still be trickling in. “The hospice has about 60 volunteers and they do everything from gardening, baking, resident care, reception work. Volunteers are a big part of the care,” said Legg. Volunteers also helped the hike to go smoothly. There were about 20 pitching in, including students. Royal Bank workers put in the time to calculate the final tally. See TEAM DUNBAR, page 2
