If you’ve ever felt the heartbreak of saying goodbye — or the fear of what comes next when care is out of reach — then you understand the urgency behind our walk.

In Canada, too many people face death without the dignity, support, or presence they deserve. Some spend their final days alone. Others navigate overwhelming grief with nowhere to turn. Caregivers carry the weight of goodbye in silence. Families say farewell without the chance to plan, process, or even pause.

At Home Hospice Association, we believe everyone deserves better.

We believe in a world where no one dies unseen. Where care is accessible, no matter your age, income, or circumstances. Where love is honoured through lanterns lit, stories shared, and lives remembered.

 

The Moonlit Memory Walk is your chance to stand for that vision — and to walk in memory of someone who made your world brighter. Each step you take and each dollar you raise helps ensure:

​

• People living on the street can be met with dignity and comfort in their final days.

• A grieving parent can find support after the loss of a pregnancy or infant.

• A beloved pet isn’t left behind when their person dies.

• A caregiver doesn’t have to carry the weight alone.

​

When you join the walk, you honour a life.

​

When you fundraise, you light the path forward for someone else.

And when we come together under the full October moon, we remind the world that love never dies.
