Health in Motion, 24 hour spinathon kicked off at 10am Friday, October 24th in the lobby of Chalmer’s Hospital. The event featured two teams of two spinning for 12 consecutive hours on spin bikes. Megan and John had the first shift from 10am-10pm, Steve and Eric finished off the spinathon with the second shift from 10pm-10am.
The purpose of the event was to raise funds for Oncology, in particular the John Webster Memorial Fund which helps families and patients to pay for expenses (travel etc.) while they undergo cancer treatment.
The event was created by Steve Webster in loving memory of his father who passed from cancer a few years ago. Each year Steve rallies a team of co-workers and friends to participate in the event. This was the 2nd annual 24 hour spinathon.
This year, the event raised $2263 for Oncology. Thank you and hugs to everyone who stopped by to show support and make a donation!!!
Way to go Steve, Megan, John and Eric!!!!
