Walk for Hospice Set for September 29 in Danvers

Care Dimensions, the largest hospice and palliative care provider in Massachusetts, invites the public to attend the 37^th annual Walk for Hospice, being held at 9AM on Sunday, September 29, 2024, on the campus of St. John’s Prep in Danvers.

The Walk offers an opportunity to remember and honor loved ones who have died, while also raising funds for Care Dimensions, which is a non-profit hospice provider serving more than 100 communities across Eastern Massachusetts.

"The Walk for Hospice is both a morning of remembrance and a celebration of life," said Heather Johnston, Chief Development Officer at Care Dimensions. "Most attendees have been personally touched by the compassionate hospice care our organization provides. Every step taken and every dollar raised helps ensure that we can continue offering exceptional care and support to those in need."

Funds from the Walk support programs like grief support, music therapy, and other services that benefit hospice patients and their families.

This is a family-friendly and dog-friendly event. Before walkers step off, there will be activities and refreshments, as well as music and brief remarks. WCVB Meteorologist A.J. Burnett will once again serve as emcee.

“Care Dimensions does incredibly valuable work that means so much to so many,” said A.J., who has emceed the event since 2020. “I am thrilled to continue supporting the annual Walk for Hospice and to help Care Dimensions fulfill their mission of providing meaningful and compassionate end-of-life care for individuals and families.”
