Heart and Stroke Foundation recruits riders
An opportunity to pedal one of
the world's biggest bikes comes this
spring. The Big Bike Ride for
Stroke, a three km ride to raise
funds for stroke, takes place in
Goderich, Sunday, May 22.
The Big Bike is a 50'-long, 30-
seat vehicle that a team of 29 can
ride (a driver is provided for safety
purposes).
The Big Bike Ride for Stroke is a
pledge-based, community event
that is novel, wacky and
encourages team spirit. Participants
earn great prizes. Organizations
benefit from the publicity and
camaraderie generated by this fun,
highly visible event. To ride the
Big Bike, each participant must
collect a minimum $50 in pledges.
The Foundation aims to raise
$300,000 from 200 rides across the
province which will go into a
newly developed Stroke Fund to
specifically support stroke research
and health promotion programs.
Each year, approximately 50,000
