'Ride For Health 3' which had been scheduled for February 13, 2010 was ultimately cancelled due to inclement weather and poor trail conditions. However, participants enjoyed many other fundraising events in support of healthcare in their region. An amazing $12,002 was raised for the Ride for Health, despite the fact that the actual snowmobile ride couldn't take place! Congratulations to all organizers! Funds have been used to purchase a variety of lifesaving equipment for the ER at the Brookfield Health Centre.
The Kittiwake Snowmobile Association assists health related charities in the New Wes Valley Region raise funds for improving healthcare. Their annual Ride for Health has raised over $40,000 to date.
The annual Ride for Health started in March of 2008 and continues to grow bigger and better each year. To become involved with this event in the future, please contact Mike Jones at (709) 536-1136.
