Big Bike Successful

The totals aren't available, but the Heart and Stroke Foundation says its Big Bike riding in Fort Frances was a success.

Jack Junkin, a beneficiary of Foundation research, drove the bike for the groups and says their fundraising efforts are working.

"It's very important," says Junkin. "Everyone who's on the planet has a heart. Sometimes they're not in the best of conditions and we need the research and money to keep things going."

The Foundation says it would like to bring the bike back to Fort Frances more frequently.
