Reminder, All Step Up for Stroke registered participants who raise a minimum of $100 will be automatically entered into the contest and will receive one additional contest entry for every additional $100 raised.

Contest winner of the WestJet flight voucher will be announced at the end of the month. 

Thank you once again for stepping up and making an impact!



Canada’s population is growing and aging. Soon all of us will know someone impacted by stroke. Maybe you already do. 

More than 100,000 strokes happen in Canada every year. That’s one stroke every five minutes! And every one of them deserves the support of March of Dimes Canada’s After Stroke program, which provides the hands-on support that stroke survivors and their families need to live their best lives.  

You can make that happen by Stepping Up to join the 100 for 100,000 Challenge in honour of the stroke survivors in your life.

This year, our goal is to raise $100,000 through Step Up for Stroke so that stroke survivors and their families can thrive post-stroke. And you can get us there. 

Choose any 100 goal: take 100 steps, bake 100 cookies, learn 100 new words, ask 100 people in your social network to join the challenge, or learn about stroke for 100 minutes at upcoming After Stroke webinars. We encourage you to have family, friends, and acquaintances sponsor your efforts to support stroke survivors across Canada.

So get creative! Have fun! Step Up for Stroke and start fundraising!
 

Help us reach 100 for 100,000!
