The Surrey campus of Vancouver Career College participated in
Big Bike on May 16, 2017, raising over $700 in support
of
Heart and Stroke. Both
staff and students participated, raising money through various fundraising
events on and off campus.
For 20
minutes, Vancouver Career College riders powered one Big Bike, pedaling through
Surrey and stopping traffic in support of critical heart disease and stroke
research.
“Vancouver Career College is proud to
support Heart and Stroke through the Big Bike fundraiser,” said Kim Simmons,
Campus Director at the Surrey campus. “I am so proud of the generosity of our
staff and students. It was a great feeling for all of us to come together for
such an important cause.”
For more than 60 years, Heart &
Stroke has been dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke in Canada. An
estimated 1.6 million more are living with the devastating effects of these
diseases. Heart & Stroke is a leading funder of life-saving research, which
has led to breakthroughs such as heart transplant surgery and a revolutionary
stroke treatment that cuts the death rate by 50%.
