Hospice House 5K, walks raise over $79,900 in May
About 890 people participated in the Androscoggin Home Care and Hospice’s 7th Annual Hospice House 5K & Remembrance Walks held in May in Auburn and Farmington.
Between the two events, AHCH raised more than $79,900 to help patients and their families who have little or no health insurance.
“I am completely amazed what our Hospice House 5K teams and individuals can do.” said Julie Shackley, president and chief executive officer of AHCH.
“For nearly 900 people to come out to run or walk in memory of their loved ones and put such great effort into raising funds to ensure that others receive the same quality end-of-life care that their friend or family member received is just astounding. We feel extremely blessed that so many dedicate their time and efforts to our mission.”
