Imagine receiving expert medical care and personalized attention in a space where you are welcomed and greeted with a friendly face. Here\, we celebrate life – your life – a life well-lived and well-loved. It’s a life not defined by illness\, but by how you choose to live it. It is about providing a better ending and creating space for more of life’s moments. This is Hospice. \nA place offering this level of comprehensive\, compassionate support does not yet exist in Lethbridge or surrounding communities. \nBy participating in the Walk to Remember\, you’re doing more than just walking. You are taking tangible action to make this vision a reality. \n\n💙 This Year\, We Walk for “Gigi” :\nThis year’s Walk to Remember is held in special honour of Margaret “Gigi” Truscott (Watson) – a beloved mother\, grandmother\, great-grandmother\, and a lasting inspiration whose memory helped spark the very heart of Guided Journeys Foundation. \n– Gigi’s Legacy: Fueling Our Mission\nGigi received loving\, dedicated care at home for seven years from her daughter\, Leslie Lyon\, and son-in-law\, Jim Lyon. In 2022\, their care journey was joined by Gigi’s grandson\, Cooper – now a board member and the foundation’s marketing director – when he moved home to help. \nThrough this intimate\, hands-on experience\, their family witnessed firsthand the gaps in local end-of-life care. They saw clearly how much our community needs a trusted\, peaceful hospice option – a place that supports both the individual and their loved ones through every step of the journey. \nIn 2022\, as Cooper began designing the Guided Journeys website and logo\, he brought his ideas to Gigi. Before showing it to the Board\, she reviewed his work. She lit up\, and with that spark in her eyes\, gave it her special seal of approval – the kind only a grandmother could give. \nIt felt like fate\, as though everything was coming together at exactly the right time. Gigi’s journey didn’t just shape the Foundation – it became a powerful\, personal reminder of why this work matters so deeply. \nHer wish was to see the Foundation succeed and for all of her family\, friends and loved to ones to please support and donate to the Guided Journeys in lieu of gifts or flowers. Her profound understanding of the need\, rooted in her own experience\, fuels our mission and lives on through this walk and the hospice we are working to build. 💙 \n\n🌸 Experience the Event:\nMore than just a walk\, this is a shared moment of remembrance\, community connection\, and purpose. Join us at the Kiwanis Picnic Shelter at Henderson Lake Park for an uplifting afternoon. \n\n☀️ Family-Friendly Activities Include:\n\n4th Annual Memorial Banner Signing: Honour your loved ones by signing the banner\, which will be displayed at the Guided Journeys Hospice & Palliative Care Home once built\, creating a lasting tribute.\nMemorial Candle Tent: A space for quiet reflection and to honour those who are no longer with us.\nLake Rose Drop: Place a rose in the lake in memory of a loved one (thanks to The Beyer Family).\nSnack and Refreshments: Generously provided by London Road Market and The Moore Family\nIn Gigi’s Honour – The Chocolate Table: Savour Gigi’s favourite chocolate delights\, offered with love by the Lyon family in memory of a woman who knew how to sweeten every moment.\n\n\n🙏 Thank You to Our Generous Supporters:\nWe are deeply grateful to those helping us build a better future for end-of-life care in Southern Alberta:\n\nThe Lyon Family – Title Sponsor\, in honour of Margaret “Gigi” Truscott (Watson)\nThe Beyer Family – 4th Annual Rose Tent Sponsor\nThe Ment Family – 4th Annual Water Sponsor\nLondon Road Market – 4th Annual Snack Sponsor\nDennis Dirtworks Ltd. – Event Sponsor\nMedia Partner Sponsors – B93.3 FM / Wild 95.5 FM\n\n(Interested in sponsorship?
