Be a hero!

Be a hero! Register for the Citizens Memorial Health Care Foundation’s “Heroes for Hospice” 5K/10K Run on Saturday, May 6th.  Both courses will begin in front of the CMH Community Rooms and will conclude with a loop around Dunnegan Park.  The race begins at 8:30 a.m. and will be electronically timed for accuracy.  Medals will be awarded to overall male and female in both races, first place male and female winners in each age division and oldest and youngest “hero.”  Participants dressed as their favorite superhero is encouraged!

CMH Hospice caregivers strive to help patients remain as comfortable as possible at home, or in a homelike setting, with family and friends.  The program also provides support to the family after a death of their loved one through a bereavement program.  Proceeds from the race will provide donations in our area to ensure that physical, emotional, spiritual and bereavement care is given to all terminally ill patients and their families.
