A driver is provided for safety
and steering purposes along the 3
km route. Area Coordinator Steven
Smith said the event is not a race
but rather a fairly leisurely jaunt
along some of the most scenic
countryside in Ontario.
"Anyone who works out on a
regular basis would enjoy the Ride
but an advanced level of personal
fitness is certainly not necessary to
ride the Big Bike," Mr. Smith said.
A minimum pledge of $50 is
required to ride the Big Bike and
riders can earn great prizes along
the way which are awarded on site.
Each year, approximately 50,000
Canadians have a stroke. A third of
these victims are between the ages
of 35 and 65. In 1991, stroke
claimed the lives of more than
14,000 Canadians.
Approximately a quarter of
stroke victims will die. Up to 30
percent of survivors will require
assistance with the basics of self-
care such as dressing or eating and
16 percent will be institutionalized.
"The Big Bike Ride for Stroke
will go a long way in raising
awareness for this much neglected
disease," says Kittie MacGregor,

Ontario alone, more than 5,000
people died as a result of stroke."
Statistics show that the cost of
the stroke is estimated to be $3
billion per year.
Research funded by the Heart
and Stroke Foundation of Ontario
has shown that many strokes can be
prevented if appropriate medical
treatment is followed and attention
paid to modifiable risk factors such
as smoking. Almost all stroke
survivors recover to some extent.
Eighty percent of stroke survivors
return home.
Under the leadership of the Heart
and Stroke Foundation of Ontario,
new therapies are currently in
development which should prevent
many stokes; others act to reduce
the amount of brain damage
sustained when stroke occurs.
Fundraising events like the Big
Bike Ride for Stroke are important
initiatives which help the
Foundation bring together the
public, health care professionals
and researchers in the battle against
stroke.
The Heart and Stroke Foundation
of Ontario is a community-based
volunteer organization whose
mission is to reduce premature
death and disability from heart
disease and stroke by raising funds
for research and education.
