Heart & Stroke Foundation 2008 Big Bike Fundraiser - June 11, 2008
The day was slightly overcast with signs of rain on the way but this not deter the committed hearts that showed up this day having exceeded our fundraising goal of $3000.00 for The Heart & Stroke Foundation! Also, granted to At Ease Body Care was the Team Spirit Award for the Big Bike 2008! Thanks to all the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel employees and other committed individuals who participated. A special thanks goes out to Diane Lewin (Director of Human Resources from the Sheraton) for taking the pics! I promise next years event to exceed all that we achieved this year!
Just to note: as I was busy working on my fundraising for the Big Bike, numerous friends and associates wondered why I would coordinate an event such as this. I would make attempts to explain what it meant to me but found that it was just something I couldn't really explain unless someone actually had the time to look at the whole, complete picture. Attached is the Team Letter I sent out which explains my intentions behind doing what I was doing. To view, please click here and read my Letter of Intent
Big Bike 2009 At Ease Team I am interested in putting another team together for next years Big Bike 2009 Fundraiser for the Heart & Stroke Foundation. Coordinating an event such as this requires committment and dedication from those that would like to participate, kind of like either showing up for the Olympics and putting your heart into it or not, if you will! To bring in concepts of healing our hearts and finding peace through our horses is truely a beautiful thing. It must never be forgotten what the horse has sacrificed for us and yet still show up as our best friends, for many. For any of my horse lover friends (and for those I am yet to meet!) that would like to join up and develop a team for the 2009 Big Bike, to make both a difference in creating the awareness that is needed in Canada to putting an end to Heart Disease, our #1 killer of both men and women, while sharing natural concepts on how to help heal the heart naturally, please contact Yvonne at Straight To Your Heart!
