HIKE FOR HOSPICE

The 2010 Hike for Hospice marked the fourth year of the partnership between the Stampeders and Hospice Calgary.

Calgary Stampeders fullback Rob Cote led the fifth annual Hike for Hospice Calgary on Sunday, May 2, 2010, at Fish Creek Park — Glennfield Area A. Cote was joined by teammates Jesse Newman and Tim O’Neill, as well as members of the Stampeder Outriders and team mascot Ralph the Dog.
 
“This is a great event that not only raises important funds and awareness for Hospice Calgary but also provides a perfect opportunity for participants to remember and honour lost loved ones,” said Cote. “It’s always a great time for a great cause.”
 
This marked the third consecutive year that Cote has led the hike. He continues to be the club’s representative with Hospice Calgary, working actively with the organization year-round. The Stampeders have been involved with Hospice Calgary since 2007.
 
The 5K walk or 10K fun-run raises funds to support individuals and families whose lives are transformed by a life-threatening illness or the death of someone close to them.
