10 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER R ide for Cancer A pril 25th The Great Ride 'N' Stride for the Canadian Cancer Society, happening Sunday, April 25th - rain or shine. The event starts 1 p.m., at the Glen Abbey Recreation Centre. There is a 10-kilome­ tre course for cyclists and a 5-kilometre route for walkers. All participants bringing a pledge sheet will be entered in a draw to win a bicycle. The first bike ride for cancer research was held on London, Ont., in 1971, and was billed as the Ladies Great Ride for Cancer. It featured women, and men dressed as women, in period costumes. Oakville's first Great Ride 'N' Stride for Cancer was held here in 1990. This year's co-ordinator is Liz Natale, who is hoping the event will grow in popularity and increase the money raised. As in past years, the Oakville Firefighters are challenging others to see who can raise the most money. Pledge sheets can be picked up at the Canadian Cancer Society, 635 Fourth Line, Unit 51, weekdays during business hours, or call 845- 5231.
