2019 will mark my 9th Becel Ride for Heart and I am going to be hitting the DVP for 50km with my Equitable Bank colleagues, my family, and a few friends (Mark, Kyle, Ryan and ..who knows). Despite another rain shower last year, we all finished our ride (and thought of all the people that supported us--BIG thanks!) and my crew was on the course by 6:30am (which is a big event in itself for my kids on a Sunday morning--LOL).
Over the past several years, several members of my family and friends have required care from Ottawa's Heart Institute. My Dad's pacemaker continues to make a difference and friends have been impacted by heart attacks and strokes . We continue to see what amazing work is done and the impact that our support for the Heart & Stroke Foundation has on the front lines to help Canadians live and have better lives. It is because of this that I will be getting back on my bike and peddling up the DVP.
Every 7 minutes someone dies from heart disease and stroke in Canada. That’s why I am fundraising for my 9th Becel Heart&Stroke Ride for Heart on Sunday, June 2nd, 2019.
Thanks in advance for your support!
Keep Peddlin’
