Delmanor Glen Abbey's Big Bike Race for Heart & Stroke

On June 22nd, residents of Delmanor Glen Abbey, along with staff and community members, narrowly avoided the rain, and hopped aboard a 29 seat bicycle to raise awareness and funds for Heart & Stroke Foundation.

The event kicked off at Turtle Jacks and each of the 29 riders, including the eldest participant, a senior of 92 yrs travelled the 1.5 km trip with police escort to the sounds of honking horns and supportive cheers.

The retirement community of Delmanor Glen Abbey, along with Turtle Jacks Restaurant were thrilled with the success of this fund raiser. While recovering from the ride, participants quenched their thirst with beverages supplied by Turtle Jacks and many spoke of the excitement of doing it all again next year!

Many thanks go out to the organizers and participants that made this event such a great success!
