2020 Spinathon (stay safe edition)

Welcome to the 2020 Movin for Mallory Spinathon! This year's event will look and feel way different than past events. This year we will be virtual. What does this mean? We will not have the event at the shop. But that doesn't mean that the event isn't happening. You can still donate to a great cause and ride your bike. We are asking that you either go for a bike ride or ride on your trainer this year from home. Share your ride on the Facebook page. We won't have all of the hoopla that usually goes along with the event, look for that at next years event.  We ARE still striving to raise funds to help conduct research on drug therapies to help cure Cystic Fibrosis. Last year we raised over $30K which was matched 100% by UPenn to pay for a research assistant to do vital work in finding a cure.  

So please continue to support this event, even though it will be different and help make CF stand for Cure Found!

What's this all about? (in non-COVID years)

Join members of Henry’s Race Team, Team Rare Disease Cycling, and many other friends in the Community for part or all of this 12 hour outdoor spinathon event to add tomorrows and healthy days to those with Cystic Fibrosis! This event is open to the public (all you have to do is pedal!) and registration is recommended since there are a limited number of bikes available. Participants can sign up to spin from one to twelve hours. Register with a team of 5 or as individuals! Our goal is to have at least 2 people spinning every hour. 100% of funds raised will go to the UPenn Orphan Disease Center - Cystic Fibrosis Division and are tax deductible. Once we reach $20,000, we'll be matched dollar for dollar by the University of Pennsylvania. There will be raffles, prizes, live music, and more! Please help us reach our goal of raising $25,000 for Cystic Fibrosis Research and join us for a fun day!
What is a Spinathon? 

What is a spinathon? A spinathon is a fundraising event that works just like a marathon or walkathon, except participants spin on bicycles set on trainers.  There will be live music, hours with various themes, movies, and a whole lot more! Create a team and compete against others or just come out to have fun! 

What will be required? 
  $60 donation to spin, $250 to spin and get a free entry into the Million Dollar Bike Ride
​  
Why raise funds and ride out in the cold? 
  • to help us add tomorrows to individuals, like Mallory, with Cystic Fibrosis
  • to spend time with a great group of friends, old and new, riding bikes
  • all attendees are eligible for raffles, prizes, sales, live music, and surprises!

What can I expect the day of the Spinathon?
  • We ask that you arrive 30 minutes early so we can get you checked in and get your bike ready
  • There will be restrooms and changing facilities available
  • You'll be asked to sign a waiver (no injuries please!) Participants under 18 will need a parent/guardian to sign off
  • There are a few places to eat in the shopping center.  We hope to also have some food trucks available and people often bring food to share (we've got some great cooks/bakers...)
  • A dish to share is always welcome, but please know our kitchen facility is limited (well, we don't have one).  We do have power, a small microwave, and water available... but utensils, ovens, counterspace for prep, notsomuch.

Spread the word!
