Your Dollars at Work

When you support the Heart&Stroke Foundation of New Brunswick, you help create more survivors.

Why Your Support Matters

Every 7 minutes, someone in Canada dies from heart disease or stroke. We can change that. More people can survive…more people can go home to the people they love. Your Big Bike donation or fundraising efforts will help fund research that is desperately needed to develop life-saving treatments that bring hope to heart disease and stroke patients.
