TISC Skaters Volunteer at Toronto’s Ride for Heart, in Support of the Heart and Stroke Foundation

A group of Toronto Inline Skating Clubs members were part of the group who helped support the Becel Heart & Stroke Ride for Heart in support of the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Those involved had to wake up at 3:30am to be at Toronto’s Exhibition Place for 5am, in time for breakfast and a volunteer’s meeting.

TISC members acted as road marshals, offering help and support for over 13,000 cyclists who were riding 25km, 50km and 75km routes on the DVP and Gardiner, two of Toronto’s major highways.
