New for 2026, the Hike is fundraising with a clear goal: Helping purchase two cuddle beds for Valley Hospice. A cuddle bed is designed for palliative care and is certified for use by two people, helping make it possible for a loved one to lie safely beside a patient and offering closeness, comfort, and connection when time is precious.
