There's a lot riding on this event. The Heart and Stroke Foundation is a leading funder of heart and stroke research in Canada with hundreds of hospital and university-based research teams depending on them (and us) year after year. The majority of these funds come from people like you who understand the critical role research plays in finding the root causes of heart disease and stroke.
Almost 40% of people will develop some form of heart disease or stroke over their lifetime so it's critical to understand the underlying causes of these diseases.
For me, this event is personal. Our family has a history of high blood pressure and stroke. My father suffered from a heart attack and has since recovered thanks to the help and devotion of many medical and research professionals whose work is funded by the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
For that reason, I am doubling the recommended individual target and setting a personal goal of raising at least $600 for heart and stroke research.
