 Welcome to another CTN member highlight. Today my guest is Amy Anderson, the marketing director at the Cancer Community Center. And you have something exciting coming up. We do. It's a cycle thing. It's an indoor cycling extravaganza. Cycling slash spinning. A lot of people are familiar with spinning. So this is something that's taking place on Friday, January 31st. It starts at four. It goes to midnight. And it's taking place at UNE's campus here in Portland. So easy to get to. Easy to get to. Good parking over there. Good parking. You don't have to brave the streets of Portland on your bicycle. You can actually do it indoors and not be mowed over. But it's a fun event. This is the fourth year that the Cancer Community Center has done this event. All proceeds support the Cancer Community Center. Everything that we do is free. We provide free programming and services for any adults impacted by cancer. So anything from physical wellness, like Pilates, yoga, strength training, Tai Chi, all the way through to the more emotional stability and strength. Things like support groups. We have a buddy program that matches someone who's in treatment with someone who's had a similar experience. Oh, I think that's wonderful. And what I hope that listeners understand too is that our buddies are also for the caregivers. So if your spouse or partner has been diagnosed with cancer or if you've lost someone to cancer, we have a buddy for you, someone who's experienced that. And knows what you're going through. I think that's wonderful. But back to the cycling. So the cycling. Well, I want you to make it clear that you don't have to bike from four to midnight. Yes, please make sure that that is communicated clearly. In fact, we hope people will come and ride for 40 minutes. You can ride for longer than that. But to register, it's a nominal fee. I think it's about $35. And you register, you ride for 40 minutes. There's a 20 minute transition time where the next person can come and adjust the cycle to their height. And you spin along to fantastic music. There's an instructor at the front. Great energy, 100 bikes in the Finley Rec Center. Oh, what fun. Yeah. And you can go at your own pace. You don't have to keep up with that. The instructor. Well, the instructor, that's for people who have never tried spinning. This is a great introduction. The bikes can be as easy or as hard as you want them, as much or as little resistance, depending on just the turn of a dial. Right. So you can set your own resistance. And if you don't want to do the 40 minutes, just being there, cycling for a bit, but encouraging other people is just as powerful. Yeah. And you have different levels. You have some advanced people who may be. Endurance. Endurance. Yeah. Who will be raising some money. Right. Will have sort of a commitment to a certain amount. Exactly. Because this is a fundraiser, we always encourage participants to get sponsors. Your mother, your father, cousins, uncles, colleagues. If they support you in sponsoring you in this event, great. It's very easy to do. The website, I can tell you. We have a Facebook page also. But the website is cancercommunitycenter.org. It's very easy to register in advance. You can also register the day of. We can't guarantee bikes the day of. But with 100 bikes, the odds are good that even if you came that day, you'd be able to jump right on and pedal. Yeah. And I'm sure there are teams who are challenging each other. Great, great question Leslie. To raise money and get out there. We have, in fact, when we looked at this fundraiser, we really wanted to work more closely with our college friends. So there is a collegiate challenge part of this. UNE, USM, St. Joe's colleges and sports teams in particular are using this as an exercise. As a fitness, they come together as a team. They cycle for the 40 minutes or longer. And they're only $5. Students are only $5. That's great. And they also learn about cancer. Well, I'm gonna challenge our executive director to go. And if I can, I just had an e-replacement. If I can talk to my physical therapist, I'll be there too. Great, great. Thank you so much and I look forward to it. Yes, thank you. Bye bye.
