spin-a-thon

On Saturday, April 12th, I participated in
Spin-A-Thon for the Tour de Cure.

6 hours, 110 miles!


My awesome spin instructor, Tracy Shivone, organized this event at Gold's Gym to raise money and awareness for the American Diabetes Association. She will be cycling in the 2-day 320K Extreme (thats 100 miles each day!) for the Tour de Cure. We were spinning (indoor cycling) for 7 hours to simulate the road race that takes place in Cary, NC on June 7-8, 2008. I was only able to sign up for 6 hours because the first hour was completely filled. The group raised close to $1000 for the day and I personally raised $160! Please visit the links above to learn more about the event, see our fundraising progress, and take time to learn more about diabetes, treatment and prevention.
