Hike is symbolic of the many challenges we face in our life’s journey. Since 1992, “Hike for Hospice” has become one of the major fundraising events of the SPHC. This year, we work towards raising much needed funds for the Jockey Club Home for Hospice, our first-rate hospice centre situated in Shatin, and to help us continue to provide quality and holistic hospice and palliative care for terminal patients and bereavement support to families who have lost their loved ones, and subsidize those who cannot afford it.
