Run and Remembrance Walk

Start Walkin!

 I recently attended the Hospice House's-


        
  
   "Run & Remembrance Walk"
One of the Balloons






                     
The walk was a 5K walk, (or run) that started out at Central Maine Community College and looped back around. They have been doing it for the past  3 years which to me is awesome and I look forward to going again next year.  

The walk was actually quite fun, Edward Little High School had some of their students their who were set up at one spot on the side of the road playing music for us walkers/runners.
There were balloons placed along the walk in remembrance of loved ones passed on.  Which was pretty bittersweet to see.  
Trailing behind the pack... Turns out I'm not a big fan of people behind me :) 

The walk itself was to raise money for those who cannot afford the services. 

The Androscoggin Home and Care Hospice House is a wonderful place that provides care and comfort for the patient and the family members. 

They have incredible nurses and doctors on staff that provide the most excellent, high quality home health care along with the care inn the actual house. 

They also provide grief support programs for those who have experienced the death of a close family member or friend. 

All and all they are wonderful; and I could not have been happier to participate in that walk.
