Why ride?
You already know cycling is fun! And it’s a great heart-healthy activity. By joining The Becel Heart&Stroke Ride for Heart, you ride in support of critical research. That’s a powerful combination: riding for your own health and the health of all Canadians.
Why fundraise?
The reason is simple yet alarming: Every 7 minutes, heart disease or stroke take a Canadian life. And another family is devastated. We need your help to change that. Your fundraising helps ensure critical research can continue. It’s that research that will help save lives and support survivors and their families. That’s why we ask participants (aged 18+) raise at least $100, in addition to their registration fee.
