[shadowstar]

Hi SC Community!
I'm taking part in the Becel Ride for heart Bike-a-thon. This is a fund raising event to raise money for Heart and Stroke Research. I believe this is a great cause and I hope you will all support me in my 75K bike ride through the DVP on June 7 2009. Information of the event can be found on http://www.rideforheart.ca.
I'm sure you all saved a lot of money through coupons and deals using this site. I hope you will all find it in your heart to help out and donate some $ to Heart and Stroke Research.
"Heart disease and stroke is responsible for 1 in 3 Canadian deaths every year". Please donate, every little bit helps!

Awesome I would but I just supported my local hospital (hsc) with their lottery. They did an awesome job for my Mom last year when she was battling cancer so if I win something I win something if not I get the satifaction of knowing I helped support them.

Best wishes to you in your endevour.

Thanks so much for the donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation Sally888!! I really appreciate the support!

This is my first bike-a-thon. I am really excited.

I wish you all the luck in the 75km trek! Are you training a lot for it?

I normally donate through a canvasser in order to get a tax receipt. Do you issue one?

Oh yes, but I raise money a different way.
I raffle baskets (made from my freebies) which reward the nurses on my unit.
It can be a tough job sometimes, and it keeps moral up.

I work the Integrated Stroke Unit.

We are continuously raising money and supporting the cause.

The BIG BIKE is coming up soon.

I have just been working out a lot on the stationary bikes in the gym. Not sure how to train as it is my first bike-a-thon. maybe when it gets warmer i will do some actual biking... =)

You do get a Tax receipt for any amount you donate!... after you donate, you will get a pdf of the tax receipt right away in your e-mail. You can then easily print this out.
