“Ride for a Reason”
CHANHASSEN, Minn., April 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — This year approximately 176,000 cases of childhood cancer worldwide will be diagnosed in children 14 and younger. Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent since it opened its doors more than 50 years ago. As St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® continues to drive the overall childhood cancer survival rate to 90 percent, Life Time – The Healthy Way of Life Company is joining their efforts.
On May 1, more than 90 Life Time Fitness and Life Time Athletic destinations nationwide will host the first-ever “Ride for a Reason” fundraising event, open to both members and non-members of Life Time. All proceeds from the event will benefit St. Jude as it is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. In addition, a portion also will go to the Life Time Foundation, a public charity committed to improving children’s nutrition by improving school meals.
This event welcomes all ages and abilities of individuals to be a part of this important cause – from avid cyclists to those who’ve never tried indoor cycling before.
About the Life Time Foundation
As a public charity created by Life Time, The Healthy Way of Life Company, the Life Time Foundation’s mission is to inspire healthy people and a healthy planet—one school meal at a time. Currently, the Foundation is focused on improving children’s nutrition through education and the elimination of highly processed and unnatural ingredients from school lunch menus, ensuring every child has a healthy start in life. Unlike many other charitable organizations in which a portion of donations is consumed by administrative costs, 100% of every dollar donated to the Life Time Foundation directly supports its mission because all administrative costs are contributed by Life Time.
