2010 Walk for Health raised $57,000 for Delta Hospital! Thank you!
Walk for Health is a pledge-style fundraiserthat challenges you to complete a walk of 2, 5 or 10 kilometres. It's not a race, it's about fun, fitness and participation. The day begins with free coffee at 9 am, where you can meet friends, hand in pledges and pick up your t-shirt.
Opening ceremonies are at 10 am, followed by a group warm-up. The Walk begins at 10:15 to 12:30 pm. Closing ceremonies at 12:45. A BBQ starts at 11:00 with fresh Tim Horton's coffee. Mr. Cool Ice Cream will also be available!
Entertainment! As you walk, the lively Celtic folk band Doghouse will keep you going. There's a Health & Wellness Fair to visit, BBQ lunch and activities to keep the kids busy - a huge bouncer, giant 60 ft twin super slide, crafts table, face painting and a popcorn machine!
Walk for Health start and course - Everything kicks off on the pathway BEHIND the hospital, on the north side. On each lap of our safe 1km routearound hospital grounds, your"Walk Passport" will be stamped. Insert your own photo or someone you are walking in honor of into your personal passport if you'd like!
Feel free to walk at your own pace and complete as much as you are comfortable doing. It's about FUN and fitness!
