The Westside Warriors completed their 2nd Annual Heart & Stroke Foundation Big Bike Ride today in downtown Westside.
Players, Coaches, Staff, Fans and The General filled the 30 seat bike to help raise money and awareness for heart disease. West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater also joined the Warriors for the second straight year.
Each rider on the Big Bike was sponsored in order to raise funds for the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
Last year the Big Bike raised 7 million dollars nationwide for heart and stroke research, and the Warriors were happy to contribute to that total this year.
The Warriors are nearing over $3000 raised through two years of support for the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
?We are proud to support such a great foundation like this,? said Warriors Head Coach Darren Yopyk. ?It was a beautiful day for a bike ride today. We made as much noise as possible, had a blast and fundraised well for our community. We strive as an organization to be ambassadors, leaders and positive role-models in the community. Today was a great example of that.?
