NU’s Big Bike Ride battles Heart and Stroke

Nipissing University’s big bike team pedaled hard last week, raising $1,700 in support of Heart and Stroke research.
The team, comprised of 22 keen members of the Nipissing University community, participated in the Big Bike for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.  They had set $1,600 as their fundraising goal, which they exceeded with continued fundraising following the event.  At the time of the ride, the team had raised $1,470.

"Once again this year, the weather was beautiful, the team had fun and we raised money for a great cause," said team captain Paul Courville. "One of my daughters was born with a heart condition, so this is a very rewarding and emotional event for me.  My daughter is healthy now, thanks to research that was funded by programs like this.  Thank you to everyone who participated and donated."

Nipissing’s team offers a big thank you to the Nipissing community for their donations and support.
