The Fit for Heart programs offers the opportunity to join the fight against the most serious health issue facing Canadians today.Few occasions bring together so many different types of people and organizations in a common effort as, Fit for Heart. This program is for everyone – age, shape or sex are no deterrents to becoming a part of this event. In Fit for Heart, participants collect pledges and take part in a fitness-based event. The funds raised help support over 450 research teams across Canada who are dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke which are leading causes of death among Canadians. By working with recreation departments, health clubs and local companies to raise funds, Fit for Heart helps get the message to the public that regular activity can be an important part of good heart health.
