“LIVESTRONG DAY - Spin for LIVESTRONG”: a

HOW:
|
Cycling.
Spandex. Survivorship. Need we say more?
Cyclists and supporters will ‘spin’ on stationary trainers
for an hour in support of cancer survivors on the downtown streets of
Seattle! We will ride in unison to raise awareness and fundraise, and heckle
pedestrians as they pass by our line of cyclists. Grab a wristband!
Cheer us on, or cheer with us! Every donation gets a round of
applause.
What
to bring:
- Your bike (!)
- A stationary trainer (we will try to source
one if you don’t have one, please let me know, or if you have an extra to
lend)
- Your cycling kit/clothing! (I will have extra
jerseys to lend if needed) Always good to have a change of clothes/covering
post-event.
If you’re not biking: come cheer us on, wear
yellow! Be ready to make some noise!
Some snacks provided. Please bring full water
bottles!

Thanks again – and in advance – for all your help
supporting, participating and promoting this event!
