Dear Victoria’s Read Readers:

Heart & Stroke Big Bike is a unique opportunity for your colleagues to work together and have FUN while raising funds for a great cause; heart and stroke research and education.

What is Heart & Stroke Big Bike?
This bicycle built for 30 is more than just a bike and it’s more than just a ride because when the Heart & Stroke Big Bike rolls through your community, it brings with it the support and hope of thousands through across the country.  On event day you will ride for 15-20 minutes, so people of all fitness levels can participate! Riders are asked to raise a minimum of $50 dollars each in pledges to participate. Fabulous prizes will be awarded to individuals and teams.
As an added bonus, your company/team name will be proudly displayed on the Big Bike as it rides through your community - and the public will be compelled to watch and cheer you on. Plus, if your team raises more than 3,000 dollars, your team will be entered in a draw to win a team dinner!
The North Bay Chapter of the Heart and Stroke Foundation is holding its  annual Heart & Stroke Big Bike event on the 23rd and 24th of June 2008.
After the ride, participants are invited back to Cecil’s Eatery for post-ride festivities. Be part of the 50,000 riders who are passionate about helping the Heart and Stroke Foundation raise funds for critical research. We look forward to seeing you then.

Fully Supplied and Ready to Ride!
We will help you make this event a success by providing you with all the tools needed to get your colleagues involved. As Team Captain, you will receive a kit containing step-by-step guidelines, motivating posters and special flashing team captain sunglasses.
I will be calling you within the next two weeks to arrange a time for us to meet to discuss your potential involvement in Heart & Stroke Big Bike. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 705-476-6196.
Sincerely yours, Marjorie Kelly
