SOLE PURPOSE 2026: Every Step Has a Purpose
On November 4, 2026, Ancora Compassionate Care President & CEO Lynn Flanagan will walk on a treadmill for 12 hours—from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.—at Rockingham Community College as part of second annual Sole Purpose.
But Sole Purpose isn't really about a treadmill. It's about the people we walk beside. It's about making sure that when a patient needs comfort, a family needs guidance, or someone needs a place to begin healing, financial circumstances don't stand in the way. Your support helps make hospice, Serious Illness Care, counseling and grief support accessible to the people in our community who need them.
You can be part of Sole Purpose 2026, too! Join Lynn at Rockingham Community College for a 15-minute walk in honor or in memory of someone special with a donation of $25 or more. Every step and every gift helps Ancora continue to be a supportive presence for life’s journey.
Last year, more than 3,000 people watched our Sole Purpose livestream, and our community helped us raise $58,000—more than twice our inaugural goal. This year, we hope you'll take a step with us.
Whether you want to walk in honor or memory of a love one or simply would like to support Sole Purpose 2026, click here to donate online.

Donate
ANCORA Compassionate Care is very proud to say we have never had to turn away a hospice patient due to a lack of insurance coverage or ability to pay. We would be unable to make this claim, however, without strong community support in the form of gifts and donations. Gifts to ANCORA help support our mission in the community through hospice care, serious illness care, and our newest service line, our counseling center.
ANCORA Compassionate Care is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, therefore donations are tax deductible to the extent allowable by law. Explore ways you can support ANCORA Compassionate Care.
