Supporting My Community Through the Walk for Hospice

Posted on August 13, 2018 by Chris Culkeen in Donors, Walk for Hospice

I’ve always strongly believed in giving back to my community, so when a friend of mine asked me in 1997 if I would donate a few hours of my time as master of ceremonies at the Walk for Hospice in my hometown of Danvers, MA, I immediately said yes. ...

‘Volunteer Vikings’ Go the Extra Mile at Walk for Hospice

Posted on August 6, 2018 by Fran Clements in Donors, Volunteers, Walk for Hospice

Taking the Walk for Hospice to Heart

Posted on August 2, 2018 by Lili Sanchez in Donors, Walk for Hospice

When some fellow employees from the Provider Relations department at Care Dimensions issued a Walk for Hospice challenge earlier this year, I saw an opportunity. Not only could I form a Walk team of co-workers and raise money, but I could raise awareness about Care Dimensions' cardiac program, which I manage. We call our team The Heart Beats. Made up of 16 members from various departments, we're spreading the word about the cardiac program. ...

Team Cindy and Traditions at Walk for Hospice

Posted on August 2, 2018 by Bruce Billingham in Donors, Volunteers, Walk for Hospice

My family and I became associated with Care Dimensions in 2006, when my wife, Cynthia Spearing Billingham, was admitted to the Kaplan Family Hospice House for end-of-life care. The care and support that Cindy and all of us received from the Kaplan House staff was a blessing we will never forget. I felt that one of the best ways that we could remember Cindy and keep her spirit alive was to participate in the Walk for Hospice, so our children, Dayna and Chase, helped me form Team Cindy that fall. For each year thereafter, Team Cindy has been a supporting force for Care Dimensions. ...

On the morning of the 2008 Walk for Hospice, it was raining. Meme had said she wanted to go, but we figured the bad weather might change her mind. I woke her up and asked if she still wanted to go with us. “Of course,” she said. “It’s a beautiful day!” She was so happy that she was doing what she wanted to do. ...

When we learned that Care Dimensions was having its annual Walk for Hospice that September, we all agreed that we wanted to take part. Dad was so excited to participate also. We came up with a team name, “Dad's Dream Team,” and had T-shirts made that captured the essence of our dad - a happy guy sitting in his recliner giving the thumbs up. ...
