Participants helped us raise over $13,000 for the Heart & Stroke Foundation of BC and Yukon and for 2009, we’d all like to see an increase in that figure. There are many fundraising incentives available through the Heart & Stroke Foundation website, so please check it out and see if you want to help us with this challenge.

Please support our charity of choice the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC & Yukon; a volunteer based health charity, who leads in eliminating heart disease and stroke and reducing their impact through the advancement of research and its application, the promotion of healthy living, and advocacy.

While you’re training for your event, why not support the Foundation and set up your own donation web page to let friends and family know why running this event is so important to you. It’s a fast and easy way to raise awareness about heart disease and stroke and support one of Canada’s most knowledgeable, innovative and trusted charities.

You can also make a donation when you register online; use the bag check on event day; or after the race get a relaxing massage - all by donation. Also, partial proceeds from every registration will go directly to the Foundation.

See what happens when you put your heart into it.
