Regular readers of these pages know well I have often opined if you want an event to be a roaring success, best get the ladies to champion the cause. One need look no further of this than the recent Women for Men’s Health Indoor Spin Fundraiser held Mar 5 at YYC Cycle Spin Studio in support of the Calgary Prostate Cancer Centre. Brainchild of the fabulous Dr. Shelley Spaner, the event saw scores of teams spin their hearts out-all the while raising more than $65,000 for the Centre. For a first-time event, such success is nothing short of astounding. Many thanks to all the sponsors who stepped up to the plate (bike?) and good on you sentiments go out to Spaner’s dedicated team of volunteers including: Linda MacNaughton; Kathleen Langner; Donna Spaner; Andrea Whyte; Sarah Jesberger; Belinda Hochman; Eman Safadi; Evie Eshpeter; Jo-Ann Godenir; Jennifer Varzari; Kenda Swanson; Mandy Balak; Rachel West; Julie Hong; Tamara Isbister; Tammy Calder; Annie Graham; Jennifer Lomas; and YYC Cycle owner/motivator Andrew Obrecht.
