The Plus Fitness 24/7 gym will be holding a 24-hour bike ride to raise funds to go towards the Children’s Leukaemia and Cancer Research Foundation in honour of Jackson Pianta.
Jackson was diagnosed with childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia when he was just seven months old.
Collie Plus Fitness 24/7 manager Teagan Roney said she came up with the idea to hold the event after one of their members, Jackson’s uncle, Shaun Pianta was trying to raise money and thought they could help.
The ride will kick off at 12:30pm on Saturday, October 6 and will conclude on the Sunday at 12:30pm. There are six available bikes to ride with a one hour time slot per bike.
Anyone is welcome to come and ride and you don’t have to be a member of the gym to participate.
On Saturday from 12 to 5pm, Collie Castle Hire have donated a bouncing castle for kids to play on which will be a gold coin donation and on Sunday Spry’s Butchers have donated sausages for a sausage sizzle starting at 12pm which will be sold for $2 each.
Subway Collie have donated cookies, brownies and a sub platter to keep the bike riders on a sugar high.
If riding isn’t your thing there will be a raffle for a 12 month gym membership at $10 per ticket, which will be drawn at the conclusion of the ride on Sunday.
There will also be some other prizes to hand out during the event with donations from local businesses such as Crank N Cycles, Collie Castle Hire, Flowers on Forrest and Henderson Hardware.
For more information or to sign up to ride call the gym on (08) 9734 4895.
