Your Goal can Achieve Wonders

Every day we ride, we are healthier (John would so promote that!). Every pledge we gather, we are safer because our ride is in support of 12 new vital signs machines at our hospital and 1 of the 6 needed replacement ICU beds. (John would love that too!) At a cost of $3,500 each, the machines are essential equipment for front line staff. Vital Signs Machines provide quick measurement of blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen levels in a patient’s blood. Our ICU beds ($22,000 each) are 16 years old and in need of replacement.  Your ride gets us closer to buying the 12 urgently needed Vital Signs Machines and 1 of the replacement ICU beds!

With your heart and soul. Ride your favourite roads and trails. Sign up anytime between now and the end of August. But whatever you do, keep track and ride like the wind!

Checking vitals regularly can alert the nurse to critical changes in a patient’s condition. Having easily accessible machines in top notch condition is essential for patient safety. Often nurses spend precious time searching for a vital sign’s device. Vital signs are checked on patients multiple times each day which means many of them are used at the same time through the entire hospital - from the emergency department to surgical services to acute care. Our replacement ICU beds provide essential support for our critically ill patients.  Ride with us and be the difference in patient care.
