Charity's Energie boost
Shoppers adopt pedal power to cycle 'around the world'
SHOPPERS adopted a bit of
pedal power to boost the
city 'cycle around the
world' fundraiser in aid of
Cancer Research UK at the
weekend.
Leading up to the event
members at Energie Fitness
Club, based in the Theatre
District, collectively
clocked up 6,228km on stationary
bikes.
During the weekend people
were then invited to
help finish off the last
360km to reach their target.
The mammoth mission
marked Breast Awareness
Month with participants
donating to take part and
all proceeds going to Cancer
Research UK.
Gary Corby, general manager
at Energie Fitness,
said: "We are thrilled to
have reached our target – it
was an ambitious goal but
thanks to our members and
the public pushing themselves
that extra bit further,
we've made a great
achievement. Thank you
for all the support and
donations."
As well as taking part in
the event people were asked
to sign a giant pink T-shirt,
which is now on display at
the club. Overall a creditable
6,588km was cycled
in total over the week.
