Miami Athletic Club is hosting a Pedal to the Finish spinning event on Saturday, Nov. 22, 2014.
Pedal to the Finish, presented by SELF, is a grassroots program benefiting the American Cancer Society that motivates people to fight back against cancer through volunteer-organized spinning events.
About half of all men and one-third of all women in the United States will develop cancer during their lifetimes. The risk of developing many cancers can be reduced by changes in a person’s lifestyle. Pedal to the Finish is working to educate people on how they can prevent cancer while raising funds for important research to find cures.
Miami Athletic Club has room for additional participants who register for the event and is open to the public. The day’s activities will include a 1-hour ride, great instructors, fun motivating music and refreshments. Participants can choose to ride at either 8:30 am or 9:30 am. Miami Athletic Club invites the public to support the event by registering at www.PedalToTheFinish.com/MAC or calling 513.831.0006 for more information
“We are proud to open our facility and host a Pedal to the Finish event. The event is a fun way for us to motivate our members and community to be active for an important cause,” states Kris Stapleton, MAC owner.
“The awareness and support raised through Pedal to the Finish events will go a long way toward helping the American Cancer Society’s commitment to its lifesaving work,” says Diane Perillo, Program Manager Pedal to the Finish, “We are so thankful for the support of Miami Athletic Club and its commitment to help finish the fight against cancer.”
