Hrmm... not sure how well this will go over, but it is for a good cause: The Heart and Stroke Foundation.
Basically, I'm cycling 75km on June 3rd in Becel's "Ride for Heart".
Donations for the cause can be made here! I have declined any prizes that I may be eligable for... so this is in no way a ploy for personal benefit!
Donations can be made through this website: http://www.rideforheart.ca/faf/donor...upId=171804865

Thanks!

 

awesome!!! Best of luck to you!! Hope everyone donates what they can if they can

 

put up a reminder on the 15th (payday )

 

lol wish i had a payday, and money to sponsor you, but alas im poor[&o]

 

seems like a great cause...& defenitely cool of u to turn down any prizes..
Good luck ! !

 

Thanks guys! No donations as of yet... I paid 30 dollars to enter the race, but I still will likely donate something. I figure this is a cause that ... like 1 in 3 people will eventually benefit from. I can't remember the exact numbers... but I'm sure you all know somebody who has has had some kind of heart problems.
I understand that many people don't have money to donate, or that many people only give to one charity... so I understand if you don't give. I just posted this in the hopes that some people might!

 

Personally I think it's wonderful that you're doing this! Good luck! Hope you reach your goal!

On a side note.. That's a long bike ride! How long have you been training?

 

Thanks!
Training? Haha, nope... no training. 75k isn't too bad... I will start to ride once it warms up here a bit, though!
I used to ride the same ride all the time, and it was 33km... so I figure this is like doing that twice and a bit more -- shouldn't be a problem! I just have to finish exams, then I can get back to the gym, and get out on the bike. I'm really looking forward to it!

 

ya isn't cardiovascular disease the number one cause of death in the US?
