Please read for one of our own that wants to pay it forward
On Dec 12th, 2014 two weeks before Christmas John Marechal, AKA “Wildpix” suffered a major Heart Attack. Luckily, at the Rec centre where it happened they had an
AED (Automated External Defibrillator)
These are supplied by the Heart and Stroke Association. Bystanders were able to restart John’s heart before paramedics arrived. He is very lucky to be alive. He had no pulse for approximately 10 -15 minutes.
Today John is at about 90% recovery.
John wants to pay it forward by joining the Becel Bike Ride for Heart to raise money for the Heart and Stroke association so that they may keep up their good work and save more lives. John is planning to ride the 75 km route which takes place in Toronto on May 31st. John would truly appreciate your support.
If you would like to sponsor John in his quest, please go to his Ride for Heart page and make your pledge.
http://support.heartandstroke.ca/site/TR/Events/RFH2015?px=1086429&pg=personal&fr_id=1070
Thank you all for your support, it means the world to John.

I'd need an AED to ride 75km.
Is there a deadline to contribute?

In the army we get trained on those in first aid at least once a year. They always stay they're not to restart a stopped heart, but to reset an irregular beat....
Indeed, I really want to, but I may have to wait a few weeks :SMiner wrote:Is there a deadline to contribute?

Re: Please read for one of our own that wants to pay it forw
Thanks guys, Yes I believe anytime before May 31st will probably work.
I'm training for the ride now, and have done a 75km ride once since my incident. Hope to do 100km before the actual date of the ride.
But I'm determined. Thanks for the support. It means a great deal to me. CNTC ROCKS!!!!!!!!!

Re: Please read for one of our own that wants to pay it forw
Just to bring you guys up to speed on this. I'm still training, I did do 100km on the trainer last week. So I think i'm in pretty good shape to do this Ride for Heart. As far as donations go Its preferred that all donations are in a week prior to the ride. But I'm pretty sure they will take a donation anytime before the ride. This bike riding has caused me to loose 35 lbs so far. Hope you guys will recognize me when you see me.
Thanks again for your support everybody. It truly means the world to me.

Just an update here. Anyone who donates to my cause this week will have their donation matched by The Printing House. So double the donation will go to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. This is only until May 3rd.
Thanks everybody. John
