CP Has Heart #BeautifulHearts Contest Making Real Difference

To build awareness on the simple steps Canadians can take to prevent the risk of heart disease, fans are being challenged by a new CP Has Heart Family, consisting of 11 CFL players, alumni, general managers, owners and officials. The challenge is simple, describe what a beautiful heart means to you HERE, and enter to win great prizes, including a grand prize trip to the 2017 Grey Cup in Ottawa.

Every two weeks throughout the season, a new video from the CP Has Heart Family will be shared on social media, challenging fans and other players to rally for heart health. The family of ambassadors will also have another challenge for fans, with every share, “love” or retweet on Facebook and Twitter generating a $0.50 donation to the Ottawa Heart Institute from the CFL.

Fans across Canada have been participating but there is one person in particular that this has really resonated with…

The following post came through from a Roughriders fan:

It was funny when this campaign came across my FB feed  I had just been made aware that I have high blood pressure and a bad heart. I was really down and depressed about the changes I have had to make. Diet, more exercise and a lot less indulgences.  I was on your FB Campaign Page and your web page and saw that there are hundreds like me that had to make a change and for the better. I have managed to get a good friend on the same lifestyle program as I!!! I guess I wanted to say thanks it was the little push I needed for the change. My family and friends notice the change in  me and are proud of where I am headed! Thanks CP because you definitely have heart!!! The photo is the main are the reason I made the change but it’s for me too. Keep Up the good work from my family to yours.

I invited all 956 friends on FB to like your page!!!
