We are all set! The Woodlands Spin for ALS will take place on Saturday, February 10th, beginning at 6 am and ending 16.5 hours later at 10:30 pm. We will have 2 trainers and a spin cycle set up at Luke's Locker in Market Street (of course, you are welcome to bring your own trainer) and we are takeing 'reservations' for those interested in raising funds for The Blazeman Foundation. Donations can be made on-sight or via online (go to Spin for ALS to learn more about this event and how you can donate online). We are asking individuals to sign up for a minimum of 30 minutes. You can donate a lump sum or donate a certain amount of $ per minute that you ride.
The event will have various individuals riding bikes (on trainers) for 16 and a half hours - the amount of time it took for an individual with ALS to complete the Kona, Hawaii World Ironman Championship in 2005.
The Blazeman Foundation -- was established to raise awareness and funds for ALS. Jon Blais was the first individual with ALS to complete the Hawaii Ironman in 2005. He completed the race (2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, 26.2 run) in 16 hours and 30 minutes. On February 10th there is a nationwide effort to hold ALS Spin-A-Thons lasting the duration it took Jon Blais to complete the Ironman (16 hours 30 minutes).
To reserve your spot, please contact Kim Hager at irongirl@sbcglobal.net and please make sure you reference 'Spin for ALS' in the subject line.
