Hike for Hope

Sunday, October 14, 2012

Thanks to all our particpants and sponsors.
Our new Hike for Hope website will be launching in the spring of 2012 

“I was humbled the first time I ever visited the Lazarus House. I remember thinking that I could never imagine my children not having a roof over their head, food to eat or someone to care for them and to hug them. All of us have an obligation and responsibility to give back. The Lazarus House and the Hike for Hope gives us all that chance to make a difference. I will never forget the Lazarus House nor will I ever let them stand alone.” - Dave McGillivray, DMSE Sports and Founder, Hike for Hope


The Hike for Hope was initiated in 1999 and is an annual event in October that begins and ends on the campus of Merrimack College and loops through Andover, MA. It is a family-centered event where Team leaders and Walkers raise funds with a 5-mile pledge walk. Throughout the day participants enjoy music, kid’s activities, festivities and a BBQ lunch after the event.

Proceeds from the hike go to the Capernaum Place, a transitional housing program, which provides the transition from a homeless shelter to a permanent home. Guests of the facility receive life skills and job training, job search assistance, childcare and support from a social worker to take the next step to independent living.
