The Heart&Stroke Big Bike is a team event geared towards community organizations, companies and groups. Teams made up of 29 enthusiastic riders each commit to raise $50 or more. A driver is provided by the Foundation and riders pedal through their community in support of heart disease and stroke research.
A vital fundraiser with impressive results, Heart&Stroke Big Bike continues to engage Canadians across the country. Last year, over 65,000 riders, in over 200 communities, helped raise over $8.4 million for research! This is helping us achieve even greater results that change the lives of not only heart and stroke patients, but all Canadians.
Register your team and get ready to:
- Inspire your peers and help make a difference to the heart health of Canadians
- Support life-saving research through your fundraising efforts
- Celebrate your accomplishments by riding the Big Bike
With your help, the Heart & Stroke Foundation can provide Canadians with the tools, resources and initiatives to help reduce the controllable risk factors of heart disease and stroke. Since 9 in 10 Canadians have risk factors, your support reaches far and wide. The money you raise ensures they continue to provide support, helping Canadians live longer, fuller, healthier lives.
The Big Bike season runs May through August across Canada and Saskatchewan residents have been huge participants in the past. Last year the top fundraising team was in Kindersley! Looking for a fun family, workplace, or group activity to do this summer and help raise money and awareness in the meantime? The Big Bike is waiting for you!
