JCHC Turkey Trot Thanksgiving Morning

The annual Susie Bowling Lawrence Hospice Buffalo Turkey Trot will be happening again this Thanksgiving morning.

The Johnson County Healthcare Center will again be offering the 5K Walk/Run, which is a fundraiser to help raise awareness for the Hospice program at the JCHC.

Funds raised through the event will help terminally ill patients and families in the community.

This year’s Turkey Trot will begin at 8am Thanksgiving morning in Crazy Woman Square in Buffalo, with registrations starting at 7:30.

The cost for adult participants is $15 with long sleeve t-shirt or $5 without a t-shirt.

Children ages 10 and under are free and will receive a free long sleeve t-shirt.

According to the JCHC website, “Hospice is a philosophy of care. The Hospice philosophy or viewpoint accepts death as the final stage of life. The goal of hospice is to help patients live out their last days as alert and pain-free as possible. Hospice care tries to manage symptoms so that a person’s last days may be spent with dignity and quality, surrounded by their loved ones.”
