Students and Staff to Participate in the Heart & Stroke Foundation Big Bike

Lakehead University - Orillia Staff and Students are participating in the Heart & Stroke Big Bike in support of the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

The Orillia event will take place at Couchiching Beach Park, near the intersection of Bay and Jarvis Streets on May 19, 2010.

The Big Bike is one of the Heart and Stroke Foundation's most FUN-raising fundraising events. Causing a commotion wherever it goes, the event is named after the BIG 30-seat BIKE. Teams made up of 29 enthusiastic riders and one driver (provided by the Heart and Stroke Foundation) pedal through over 200 communities, across nine provinces raising funds, attention and laughs along the way.
