Micki Leblanc and Denise Labrecque: A Legacy of Commitment, Dedication and Love

Micki Leblanc and Denise Labrecque, both former Lazarus House staff members as well as longtime volunteers and supporters, who have participated in the Hike for Hope since its inception 26 years ago, will be dedicating their walk and fundraising efforts to the memory of their dear friend, Barbara Sager. Barbara’s unwavering dedication and generosity has made a significant impact on the Guests we are privileged to serve. Their story is a testament to the enduring spirit of love, hope, and service that defines Lazarus House.

For 26 years, Micki Leblanc and Denise Labrecque have been tireless champions for the mission and the Guests served by Lazarus House Ministries.  By walking each and every year in the Hike for Hope, their unwavering commitment has not only inspired others but has also raised significant funds to support our services. They are motivated by their steadfast love of all that Lazarus House is able to do because of the impact of the fundraising at The Hike for Hope Fall Festival.  This year, they walk with a renewed sense of purpose, dedicating their efforts to the memory of their dear friend, Barbara Sager.
