ONE NATION, TWO CHARITIES, A SINGLE MISSION:
LOCAL SPINNNG ENTHUSIASTS RIDE TOGETHER TO RAISE FUNDS FOR CANCER RESEARCH AND SURVIVORSHIP
Lambertville, NJ —On Saturday, February 28 at Functional Fitness Studio, Lambertville, a team of SpinningÒ (indoor cycling) enthusiasts led by local team captain, Richard Pickup, will ride in the nationwide fundraising event, Spinning Nation ‘09.
Team Functional Fitness will join over 100 teams across the nation riding as one nation to raise funds and awareness for the Lance Armstrong Foundation and Athletes for a Cure, a program of the Prostate Cancer Foundation. More than 700 participants have already signed on to ride in Spinning Nation ’09 to raise awareness and fight prostate cancer.
“We are a small but “mighty” studio,” said Dorothy Ames, owner of Functional Fitness. “We strive to give back to the community and at the same time offer the best experience we can to our members.”
“This is a grass roots effort. It all starts with people wanting to help those fighting cancer,” said Scott Zagarino, founder and managing director of Sportsgrants Foundation. “In 2009 the predicted cuts in research and care funding for cancer are predicted to be 25%. Who is going to take up the slack? This is truly an opportunity to seize the power of now!”
Spinning Nation ‘09 is sponsored by SPIN Fitness, the global leader of indoor cycling, and is the only SpinningÒ endorsed national fundraising event.
To donate to this cause, or join Team Functional Fitness, visit the Spinning Nation ‘09 website at www.spinningnation.org and sign up for “Team Functional Fitness.” You can also contact Dorothy Ames at [email protected]. There will be two classes offered at the studio, at 8:30 am and 9:30 am.
