When you pedal for a purpose with the YMCA, you ride for a cause to strengthen not just your legs and heart, but those in our community who need us most. Each dollar raised goes directly to a child or teen in need of a safe place before and after school; a family determined to live healthier, spend time together and have fun at the same time; or a senior in need of community where connections turn to friendships and health improves. All this and much more happens thanks to YMCA programs. Each turn of the wheel or step on a treadmill brings us all closer to our goal of supporting each family, child and senior that needs the support that the YMCA can bring to their lives.

When you pedal – a child, family or senior has a chance to thrive!


 

 

Pedaling Is Easy-- Here's How:

1. Gather a team of 10 and have the team captain register to secure the team's spot. Be sure to choose a time slot during registration.* You may also register by calling 509-777-9622 or stopping by any branch of the YMCA of the Inland Northwest.

2. Raise $1,000 or more as a team by May 18th through personal donations or pledges from your friends and family.

3. Find your team's fundraising page here or ask your team captain to create one to help your team meet its goals. Once the team captain has set up the page, team members can join and send the donation link to friends and family. Supporters don't need to create an account to donate online!

4. Arrive at the Spokane Community College Track on May 18th for your chosen time slot and get pedaling!!!

*Registration must be submitted by May 4th in order to secure your team's time slot and t-shirts. Time slots will be filled in the order registrations are received. We will contact you if we are unable to honor your time request, and you will have the opportunity to choose an alternate time.

No team?? We have a spot for you-- call 509-777-9622

I was diagnosed with Parkinson's in March, 2017.  Exercise and diet are probably the two best medicines to slow down this disease's progress.  I found about the Spokane central YMCA's FREE Pedal for Parkinson's exercise group and started pedaling in July, 2018.  Serena, Jessica, and Victoria challenge us on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for an hour.  

The YMCA states their "steadfast commitment to impacting and changing lives remains paramount as we ensure that our YMCA will be accessible to people regardless of age, ethnicity, religion, gender, or income through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all."

Would you like to join me in supporting the annual YMCA fundraiser?  Our group is involved in the Pedaling for a Purpose one hour stationary bike challenge on May 18, 2019 at SFCC.  

To quote Tim Hague, an author with Parkinsons, stated in his book, Perserverance; perseverance is "to carry on in a course of action, even in the face of difficulty, with little or no evidence of success."

Thanks for your support!

Dan Obenchain
