Tessa describes her Mom, Cathy, as extremely stubborn, savvy, smart and a perfectionist. She was a huge Pittsburgh Steelers fan. There wasn’t much she couldn’t doshe was an artist, baker, and handy with power tools. She was an avid walker. She would walk three hours every day from Innerkip side road and loop back. The route for Sakura House’s annual Hike for Hospice holds extra significance for Tessa. Why? The pathway along Roth Park was part of her Mom’s daily walking r...outine. She loved that area Tessa continues to hike in her Mom’s footsteps because, it’s my way of helping out. I want to keep Sakura open. I want everyone to have the peace my Mother and I had at the end. Tessa not only hikes, she has also actively been involved in the planning of the Hike since the year her Mom died from colon cancer on April 13, 2012. Three years after her Mom died, Tessa went to Scotland to honour her Mom. She took her Mom’s ashes to two of the places her Mom had always wanted to go Loch Ness and Arthur’s Seat. Her remaining ashes are buried here in Woodstock. Tessa’s arm carries the GPS locations of these three special locations. Tessa continues to keep her Mom’s spirit alive by baking her famous banana bread as a fundraiser for the Hike for Hospice, but unfortunately because of the pandemic she was unable to sell them this year. Thank you Tessa for your sharing why you are hiking. There is still time for you to donate to our Hike! You too can honour your loved one like Tessa or choose to honour all the patients and families at Sakura House right now and in the future.
