2020 A Run To Remember 5K
Hospice Ministries, Inc.
A Run to Remember is Hospice Ministries’ annual 5K walk/run that promotes awareness for hospice care in our community. Hospice Ministries is faithful to the mission that all life matters, regardless of a patient’s ability to pay. The proceeds of this year’s race will go towards the capital renovation of expanding the medication room in our inpatient facility.
You can participate in A Run to Remember without running in the race. The last mile of the course includes memorials to patients and families. Last Mile Memorial signs can be purchased in advance of the race to honor loved ones. Click to learn more about Last Mile Memorials.
