Four Seaforth teams filling
Big Bike for Stroke so far
Susan Hundertmark
The Big Bike for Stroke will
be rolling into Seaforth again
this year on Monday, May 28
and so far, four teams have
signed up to participate.
With a Mardi Gras theme
this year, organizer Erin
Maloney is hoping the riders
on the 29 -seat bike could be
dressed in the feathers and
masks that go with the
theme.
"We'll have Mardi Gras
music and signs and we'll be
handing out beads for the
volunteers. London's done
Mardi Gras before and they
took it to the max," she says.
The Big Bike for Stroke
campaign for the Huron -
Perth -Oxford Heart and
Stroke Foundation goes from
May 17-30 this year, travel-
ling through Stratford,
Listowel, St. Marys, Seaforth,
Clinton and
Woodstock.
The Clinton
event is on May
30.
While the
Seaforth
Community
Hospital and the
Huron -Perth
District Catholic
School Board has
signed up to par-
ticipate again,
new teams from
Sun North
Systems and
Northside United
Church have also
signed on.
However,
Maloney says
that since Sun North has
pledged a half team of 14 to
15 riders, more riders would
still be welcome to fill the
empty seats on the bike.
"With 16 people working
hard, you can move the bike
so if we had to, we could
throw a few volunteers on the
bike," she says.
Each rider on a team is
expected to collect at least
$50 in pledges for the Heart
and Stroke Foundation.
-Last year, the overall goal
for three counties was
$88,000 but only
$75,000 was raised so
the goal has been
reduced this year to
$80,000.
In Huron County,
$9,300 was raised
amongst five teams,
only one of which was
in Seaforth, made up
of employees of the
