Thousands of dollars is going to heart and stroke research thanks to the Big Bike, and Wallaceburg peddlers.
Yesterday’s stop was the first in Chatham-Kent this year, raising just shy of $12,000 – $11,798 to be exact – with eight teams taking part.
Today the Big Bike will tour around downtown Chatham, followed by a second stop in Chatham tomorrow.
Rides are scheduled next week in Tilbury, Chatham, Ridgetown and Blenheim.
