We are very proud to share that our team raised $1,695, and these funds will be used to help the Heart & Stroke Foundation continue investing in life-saving research and treatments, train Canadians in CPR and First Aid, and creative free and accessible eTools to encourage people take control of their heart health.
A big thank you to everyone who participated, and to the Heart & Stroke Foundation for organizing this annual fundraising event!
