Why we're trekking for the Texas ocelot
Did you know that every five minutes, someone in this country dies from heart disease, stroke and related conditions? And that people with these conditions are at higher risk for complications, and death, if they contract COVID-19?
This threat has kept many people from seeking care when they needed it most.
Never in the 70-year history of Heart & Stroke has your gift been more critical. Your donation can help save lives.
That's why we're fundraising for the 2022 Manulife Heart & Stroke Ride for Heart on June 5, by getting active and sharing my heart-shaped route in support of critical heart disease and stroke research.
You can make a difference, too. Your help is needed more than ever to help beat these diseases.
By donating, you're funding the next big breakthrough, fueling the scientific discovery and collaborations needed to save lives.
Please help make every beat count and donate to help fund lifesaving research - together, we'll beat heart disease and stroke.
Thank you for supporting us!

Blisters are temporary. Glory is forever. Also, so are your terrible tan lines.

One foot in front of the other, Jake. Also, don’t get eaten by a mountain lion.

Hope your boots are treating you well—if not, I suggest making friends with a passing armadillo for a ride.

Go Jake! If an ocelot can survive in the wild, you can survive 150 miles. Probably.
