Over the past 21 years the Heart & Stroke Lottery has raised Hundreds of Millions of dollars in support of medical research, empowering Ontario’s preeminent universities and teaching hospitals.

This year is extra special. It may surprise you to learn that women’s hearts and brains are built differently than their male counterparts. Decades of research using male brains and hearts as the archetype of medical progress has resulted in women being under-researched, under-diagnosed, and over-dying.

These women are our friends, students, teachers, sisters, daughters, and mothers. We need equity, and this is the year to make it happen.

Because each ticket can literally save a life, Legend Boats has enthusiastically decided to donate a Splash+Cottage Pontoon boat in an effort to make this year the biggest success ever.

But, we can’t do it alone. We’re calling on all of you to show your support whichever way you can.

Here are a few options;

• Visit heartandstrokelottery.ca and place your order today
• Connect with 1-844-900-4111 (call, text, or Facetime)
• Share our message on Facebook
• Educate yourself

Signs of heart attack in women:
