Your Dollars at Work
Why Your Support Matters
Since you’re reading this right now, it’s clear that you want to help. We need people like you. When you donate or raise funds for the Ride for Heart, you help ensure that more survivors come home to the people they love. Thanks to the money you raise and donate, we’re able to fund research that leads to medical breakthroughs, helping survivors recover faster and return home to their families sooner.
How the Heart and Stroke Foundation Helps Create More Survivors
We invested over $32 million in life-saving heart disease and stroke research in 2014, supporting more than 1,000 researchers across Canada.
We placed more than 8,000 life-saving automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in communities across Canada to increase someone’s chance of surviving cardiac arrest.
The Heart and Stroke Foundation funded the development of life-saving treatments that created 165,000 survivors last year.
