Six Nations Rides Big Bike in Support of Heart and Stroke Foundation
|
|
06/13/10 – The signs of oncoming rainfall could not hamper the spirits of everyone who came out to ride the Big Bike to raise research money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario.
The Big Bike promotion is an annual event overseen by the Foundation which has raised to date approximately $7 million dollars for heart and stroke research across the country.
Teams from Six Nations gathered, climbed up onto the big bike and raised rattles while peddling for 20 minutes in the community. As the bike passed, people in homes and at Iroquois Lodge waved at riders who were working hard and having a lot of fun. Curious onlookers were amused at the mere sight of the Big Bike.
Participants enjoying the cool ride represented Six Nations Health Services Heart Health and Long Term Care, Iroquois Lodge, Six Nations Police and Six Nations Childcare.
All totaled, the event raised $6731.51 for Heart and Stroke research.
