Rotary Hospice Stratford Perth has played a big part in the Whittemore family’s lives.
Bill Whittemore recalled his wife Lynn did the bookkeeping for the organization and loved being part of the hospice experience.
In her final days, Lynn was lovingly looked after by hospice staff and volunteers.
“Lynn passed away about 13 months ago now, we got to use the hospice facilities and everything we ever dreamed of came true in that one week that we were in the hospice. Everybody was the most generous and kind, and all the experiences we had were the best.”
Bill Whittemore is keeping the connection going as honourary chair of Hike for Hospice scheduled for June 14, starting at Stratford Perth Museum at 10 a.m.
All proceeds from the walk will cover costs for hospice residents.
The hike starts at 10:30 a.m., with festivities taking place at noon. A BBQ lunch, games and more will be included.
