CycleNation is a fundraiser benefiting stroke research at the American Heart Association. I'm riding with one of the teams for Joy Ride Fit, a local spin class studio. Bit sappy, but spin classes with this group have meant a lot to me and benefited my health (physical and mental) hugely.
If you're able and want to send a few tax-deductible bucks to the American Heart Association, my team and I would truly appreciate your contribution!
Answers to questions I had before signing up for this:
- AHA is a legit organization that puts 80% of their budget into programs (unlike some other fundraising groups you've probably heard of!).
- Examples of work this fundraiser might support include grants to fund stroke units at rural hospitals, training programs for EMTs, and new evidence-based medical guidelines. (Source: Impact Report document on stroke.org)
