A collaboration between Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation and Crossroads Hospice Society is encouraging Tri-Cities residents to get out and "Bike and Hike for Your Community" this spring.
Inspired by the work both organizations do for the community, the concept of Two Days, Two Great Causes is a campaign that focuses on health and healing. To enhance the impact of their two major fundraisers - Wheel 2 Heal (W2H) and Hike for Hospice - the two non-profits will share resources to plan a weekend of active, healthy living.
"As a part of our mission to 'put life into days' the Two Great Causes campaign is the perfect partnership to inspire others to participate in a weekend of wellness and community building," said Bob Tanaka, Crossroads Hospice Society board president. "We hope that people will embrace both events as a part of personal wellness and as a means to honour those who have been assisted by either group."
"I can't think of a better way to spend my weekend than on the trails biking or hiking around the Tri-Cities," said Alison Johansen, Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation board chair. "It's a great way to have fun with friends and family, throw in a little physical activity, all while feeling really good about giving back to two causes in our community."
The events will take place on Saturday, May 4, and Sunday, May 5. For more information go to www.2greatcauses.ca.
