WALK - THE - WALK 2009

Walk-the-Walk
for Hope Hospice 2009 was a great success! 70 walkers showed up on a cool, damp
Saturday to remember loved ones who have passed and
add awareness for the services of Hope Hospice for Fulton County and the
surrounding area. Hope Hospice has had the honor and privilege of caring for
our community for the last 14 years. Without the generosity of our community we
could not provide the personal and compassionate health care our community
deserves.

With the
donations of our sponsors we provided prizes for 4 different categories:
·
Ruth Anne Markley; Most money received through
pledges ($530.00). She received a Vizio 26” LCD Flat
Panel TV.
·
Cindy Davies from Nashville TN; Farthest Traveled
Walker. She received a Casio Digital Camera.
·
Betty Miller won for the Oldest Walker. She
received a 9” Digital Photo Frame.
·
Larissa Newcomer won the Youngest Walker Award. She
received a DQ Ice Cream Cake and a $25.00 Gift Card from Wal-Mart.
