YOUR FUNDRAISING HELPS EXTEND LIVES
Heart disease and stroke cut lives short and can have a devastating impact on Canadians’ quality of life.
- Heart disease and stroke take 1 in 3 Canadians before their time
- Heart disease and stroke is the #1 killer of women
- 9 out of 10 Canadians have at least one risk factor for heart disease or stroke
- Childhood obesity has tripled in the last 30 years, affecting the future health of our children
With your help, the Heart and Stroke Foundation is working to change these alarming statistics.
Funds raised through the Becel Heart&Stroke Ride for Heart support world-class research, healthy communities, healthy children and youth, and awareness and prevention. Every dollar makes a difference!
Visit the Heart and Stroke Foundation for more details on how your fundraising is helping Canadians live longer, fuller lives.
