It’s that time of year again.
For some of us, Strides For Stroke means dusting off those runners and checking to see if the jogging gear we carefully put away last fall still fits. For others, it’s an opportunity to continue our exercise routine in preparation for the summer season ahead. Whether you’re a new or experienced jogger or walker, let’s get active together for a great cause.
Join us and run or walk in support of the York Region District Stroke Centre at York Central Hospital Foundation’s 7th Annual Richview Manor Strides for Stroke, being held May 5th 2012 at Richmond Green.
You can sign up for the 5K Run/Walk and bring your children (aged 12 and under) for the 1K Children’s Scamper.
Come out for an action packed morning beginning with a warm-up with a professional aerobics instructor, live music, a 5K route through beautiful scenery and great food and prizes at the end of the race.

Since 2006, this annual event has raised over $470,000, helping to fund state-of-the art medical equipment for York Central Hospital. Last year, more than 750 participants raised $125,000. Proceeds will be directed to the York Region District Stroke Centre located within York Central Hospital.
As the District Stroke Centre for York Region, York Central has a leadership role in ensuring that stroke patients have rapid access to diagnosis and treatment, appropriate rehabilitation, and long-term care services.
Your support of the Richview Manor Strides for Stroke 5K Run/Walk will directly contribute to funding an annual District Stroke Bursary which will enhance access to high quality education opportunities to York Central Hospital staff. This bursary will provide them with access to continuous, up-to-date knowledge on best practices to treat stroke patients. Proceeds from the event will also help fund life-saving equipment to support staff in delivering acute stroke treatment and prevention.
