And sign up volunteers they did. Mayor Scott Aitchison has agreed to spin in the first heat at 8am and asked for a paramedic, councillor Dan Armour, to join him in case CPR was necessary. Other councillors, Alcock, Stone and Terziano, as well as many Town staff, also agreed to spin in support of cancer care and research.<\/p>\n<p>People interested in participating may sign up at Motivations Fitness. They ask participants to raise at least $50 in pledges.<\/p>\n<p>Spinners love nothing more than an audience as they sweat and groan, so make sure you stop by the Summit Centre on April 11 to cheer them on.<\/p>\n<p>Donations can also be made to the team on-line at<a href=\"http:\/\/www.conquercancer.ca\/site\/TR\/Events\/Toronto2015?team_id=74060&amp;pg=team&amp;fr_id=1523\" target=\"_blank\"> http:\/\/www.conquercancer.ca\/site\/TR\/Events\/Toronto2015?team_id=74060&amp;pg=team&amp;fr_id=1523<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ratings] The good people at Motivations Fitness are hosting a \u2018spin-a-thon\u2019 in the lobby of the Summit Centre on Saturday April 11 from 8 am to 1 pm in support [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2408,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2407","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
