More riders are needed for the Heart and Stroke Big Bike!
The Big Bike helps the Heart and Stroke Foundation raise money to help save lives.
The foundation would like you to raise at least $50 if you can, but say they are happy if you can fundraise at all.
Last year more than 70,000 riders in over 200 communities across Canada raised over $8 million for research!
In the last 2 years in Grey and Bruce, over $300,000 has been raised for Heart and Stroke.
The foundation has a goal of reducing Canadians rate of death from heart disease and stroke by 25% by 2020.
