Following a successful first year, the annual Manly Spin-a-thon is back for another fun day out on 7 December, with music and entertainment, overtaking a section just off The Corso near Sydney Road in Manly.
Organised by Proveda Foundation in collaboration with Manly Business Chamber, the outdoor stationary spin event raises awareness and much-needed funds for youth mental health programs in Northern Sydney.
Youth mental health is a massive issue with over 38% of Australians between the ages of 16 and 24 years old experiencing a 12-month mental health disorder.
Raising over $25,000 for Waves of Wellness (WOW) Foundation last year, which funded four Surf Therapy Programs for local youth, the Spin-a-thon is aiming even higher for year two by supporting five impactful, local grassroots charities dedicated to youth mental health: Empowering Parents in Crisis (EPIC), Harrison Riedel Foundation, KYDS Youth Counselling, WOW Foundation and Proveda Foundation.
Participants can join a team or ride as an individual on one of 27 stationary bikes, each accommodating four riders and enjoy a Spin class at their own pace with upbeat music, led by experienced instructors. Limited spots available! Visit Spin-a-thon – Proveda.
