Thousands of riders across the country will be working up
a sweat while supporting a good 'cause this weekend.
Lifetime Fitness Clubs will host a cycling charity event later
today.
Let's go to Lifetime in Brookfield.
That's where Heather Spottola joins us live.
Heather, so good to see you.
How you feeling ahead of this big workout?
It is so good. It's so great.
Good morning, Aaron. How are you today?
I'm doing great now. It's all calm and quiet now.
What are you expecting later today for this ride of
a lifetime?
Yeah. So we have four classes happening today.
We have one currently going on in the studio,
so lots of energy, lots of excitement.
We have three other classes today,
one at 8/30, 9:30 and 10:30.
Our goal today is to raise well over $10,000 for
our local ride of a lifetime.
How close are you? I know it just began.
Do you think you're going to hit that goal?
Absolutely. I think I'm so fully excited and have so
much belief in this community and what we can do
for just our local charities as well.
Am I doing asking someone in the fitness world,
can they do something? Absolutely you can do it.
Can people still sign up?
Absolutely. This is an event that's open to not only
our members but also the public.
So all that we're asking for today is just an
honorable donation.
So if you're interested in coming out and supporting an
amazing community and charity,
come on out and enjoy a ride.
And who exactly is this going to help,
Heather? So this is all of the charity that's raised
today is going to go to the Children's Hospital Wisconsin,
as well as the Lifetime Foundation,
which goes and directly impacts the Milwaukee Public School District.
Now, I know you're on TV now.
Are you going to be doing this ride a little
bit later today?
I will be jumping in the ride at 10:30 today.
Wonderful. OK, anything you really want people to know ahead
of today's event.
The biggest thing is that every dollar helps and makes
an impact and a difference.
And this is our biggest charity event that we ride
for as lifetime as a community.
So there's 160 clubs throughout the nation and country today
that's doing an all riding for the same 'cause.
It's all for the kids.
Awesome. When I drive on the Interstate,
maybe headed to Waukesha, Brookfield,
I can see your big building,
but not everyone knows your location,
where you're located exactly.
Yeah, we are at 17585 Golf Pkwy and Brookfield,
WI. We're tucked right behind Portillo's,
right off of Blue Mountain.
Oh, OK. Thank you so much,
Heather. So good to see you this morning.
We'll be checking in all morning long.
You'll definitely making an impact there at Lifetime where there
is a ride for a great 'cause.
All right, we'll have much more coming up soon at
7:45.
