  • Maine Veterans' Homes

5K x 10 days


Some of you know I'm a volunteer with Hospice of Southern Maine. I'm assigned to a facility and have been volunteering at the Maine Veterans Home in Scarborough until March when Covid-19 shut down outside visits. It's been both a rewarding and beneficial time for me as I've gotten to know some of the veterans and the exceptional staff that care for them. They are all heroes of the highest order! And in some small way, I hope my visits have been helpful to the men and women to whom sacrificial service has been a calling they gladly embraced!

I've accepted the challenge for the Maine Vets 5K, but with a twist. My goal is to complete 10 - 5K walks (sorry but my knees won't allow runs any longer) between now and August 16. Would you consider supporting one of my 5K's? It would be huge if together we could raise $500 for MVH. Won't you help? Thank you in advance for anything you can contribute to this effort. I'll be posting daily so keep looking for updates as we close in on the challenge!
