Thanks to our sponsors and a small group of hard-working volunteers, Hospice & Home Care of Juneau's Heart of Hospice run/walk held at Twin Lakes on April 18 was very successful. We received wonderful support from the Juneau business community and had a great turn out of runners and walkers. Funds from sponsors and participants will allow Hospice & Home Care of Juneau to continue providing and strengthening the comprehensive services we offer.
