The Cerebral Palsy Association of Manitoba says it’s grateful 789 people participated in stationary bike races in Brandon and Winnipeg this spring to help raise funds.
The 37th annual Mission: Possible bike race took place on May 30 at Blue Cross Park in Winnipeg, while the Westman race was held on April 18 at the Keystone Centre, a news release said on Tuesday.
The Westman race had 15 teams and more than 240 riders, said David Kron, the non-profit’s executive director.
The Cerebral Palsy Association of Manitoba has raised more than $334,000 so far this year, which goes toward new equipment such as adaptive bikes and communication devices and providing scholarships and respite care, he said.
People’s generosity to donate means the non-profit can continue its mission to support Manitobans affected by cerebral palsy, Kron said. People can still donate to the fundraiser until the end of August.
Cerebral palsy is a group of neurological disorders that affect movement, balance and posture. It’s caused by damage to a baby’s brain most often during pregnancy with symptoms appearing during infancy or in pre-school years.
