A Heartfelt

Thank You

A Heartfelt Thank You to our Move the Boot Community.

During COVID-19, we introduced the BP Trails Challenge and Hike Da Boot Challenge as a way to help people get outside, stay connected, and keep moving. Over time, it grew into Move the Boot - something that brought our community together in a really special way. From local trails to shared photos of families and pets, it became about prioritizing health and wellness while supporting healthcare close to home.

What began as a response to travel restrictions quickly grew into something special. We’ve loved seeing participants explore local trails, share photos of their families and pets, and make their health and wellness a priority, all while supporting healthcare across the Burin Peninsula.

As we look ahead, our Board of Directors has made the thoughtful decision to bring Move the Boot to a close in 2026. As this chapter comes to a close, the spirit behind it remains just as important. We continue to encourage everyone to get outside, stay active, and enjoy all that our beautiful communities have to offer. And if you’re looking for ways to stay involved, we invite you to support upcoming initiatives like our Radiothon this May, or even consider creating your own fundraiser with friends, family, or your workplace.

To everyone who walked, hiked, shared, donated, and supported this initiative over the years, from the BP Trails and Hike Da Boot Challenges to Move the Boot - thank you. You’ve helped make a real difference in local healthcare, and we’re so grateful to have had you be part of this journey.

Because caring for our communities starts right here at home.
