Many of our supporters have chosen to give to Durham Region Hospice because a life experience affected them and they wanted to act. We often donate to a charity but don’t really talk about why. We want you to talk about it. We challenge you to talk to one person about the importance of hospice residences this week. Life is about choices and we are working hard to bring you the choice of hospice residence care. Will you accept the challenge?... #durhamregionhospice #hospice #comfortcarecompassion #durhamregion

Thank you to all who donated and to the Lions who painstakingly sorted and counted the returns. Members of the Lions in attendance are Linda Bray, George Forget, George Rickard, David Gibson, Heather Griffin.
