The Heart and Stroke Foundation is looking for Big Bike teams to ride 29-person bike in support of life-saving research.
The Kamloops/Cariboo office of the Heart and Stroke Foundation is recruiting teams to participate in 100 Mile House annual Big Bike event, which is taking place at the Save-On-Foods parking lot June 9. Local organizations are invited to help “Take a seat to extend a life” by getting a team of 29 folks together to ride a two-kilometre route in their community on Canada’s only 30-seat bike.
“This fun, team-building event is a great opportunity to increase employee morale and your organization’s visibility in the community and all for a good cause” says Lisa Verity, Kamloops/Cariboo office of the Heart and Stroke Foundation area co-ordinator.
Every seven minutes a Canadian dies from heart disease or stroke, and in British Columbia, someone dies from heart disease or stroke every hour, says Verity.
“Events like Big Bike allow the foundation to continue funding world-class heart disease and stroke research, advocacy, and health promotion that is improving the lives of all Canadians. We’re helping give Canadians longer, fuller, healthier lives.”
Register today to put your organization in the spotlight and to help continue the tradition. Call Verity at 250-372-3938 and visit bigbike.ca.
