CIRA has been doing a wonderful job of using 2RaceWithMe over a sustained period of time. This is a very worthy cause and it hope that they will find the volunteers that they need for this. Thank you Kelsey and your team for the work that you do!

We are looking for research assistant volunteers! In particular, we need someone to help with our 2RaceWithMe bike. Apply through Connect Fredericton or email [email protected] https://ow.ly/eZo050T8SG1

Thanks to CIRA for letting us demo 2RaceWithMe in their booth. Got to meet a lot of colleages at the AGE-WELL Conference and now we at the Canadian Association of Gerontology conference (in Edmonton). it is interesting to see that there is a great deal of interest in Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities (NORCS) at both AGE-WELL and CAG.

February is Heart Health and thanks to our friends at AGE-WELL for highlighting the value of 2RaceWithMe as a great way to get arm and leg exercise while seated. And a special callout to Rich McAloney (shown in the photo) and Shannon Freeman for the great work they do with 2RaceWithMe and other innovative technologies at CTAAN.

Here's a post from CIRA showing the use that 2RaceWithMe is getting at York Care Centre in Fredericton.

Mark Chignell visited CIRA/YCC today and got to meet some of the 2RaceWithMe users and talk to CIRA researchers. 2RaceWithMe is thriving at YCC, and we want to thank the CIRA researchers, and Debbie Barton in particular, for facilitating use of the equipment. It was an inspiring day.

One of our innovator partners, Mark Chignell of Centivizer, is visiting New Brunswick. We were happy to be able to connect and show you the 2RaceWithMe device in use!
