The Jay Morris Spinathon
Thank you to everyone who was involved in the Jay Morris Spinathon. You helped to raise over £16,000 which means the organisers have reached their £100,000 milestone which is fantastic!
The event took place at Club Carrefour, St Lawrence, on Saturday 28th February, when about 85 people were spinning – cycling on a stationary bike – in one hour slots for seven hours.
Jay, who was a keen racing cyclist and founder member of the Velo Cycling Club, died from cancer at the age of 30 in 2003. He had every intention of taking part in the first Spinathon, which Jay and his family set up as a fund raising event for Jersey Hospice Care. Sadly, he died a few weeks before it took place and his family have organised it every year since as much a tribute to Jay as a fund raiser.
Thank you to everybody who helped make this year so successful - see you next year!
