A sizable donation from touring cyclists from across the globe has boosted care for expectant mothers at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital.
Canada Cycles for Kids, which raises money for kids across Canada via fundraising rides, is doing its first tour on Vancouver Island and stopped by the Nanaimo health-care facility to present a cheque of over $53,000 which will go towards a perinatal operating room cautery machine and a new fetal monitor, with price tags of $28,745 and $24,500 respectively, according to a press release.
