Fireflies fundraiser
Sun 22 March
The Fireflies Tour is a legendary 1,000km charity cycle ride across Europe, tackling some of the continent’s toughest climbs and ridden by legends of the advertising and creative industries. For more than 25 years, Fireflies has raised £2.4m for The Blood Fund.
This year, Amy Coomber is taking part for the second time and is bringing that same grit, community and purpose to Meraki Fit, using spin to help fundraise in support of the Fireflies Tour and the life-saving work it funds.
‘For those who suffer we ride’
On Sunday 22nd March at Surrey Sports Park, Amy is taking on an extraordinary challenge in support of the Fireflies Tour; eight back-to-back spin classes inspired by last year’s journey from Geneva to Nice. The Fireflies Fundraiser is designed to help Amy reach her £2.5k fundraising target for the Tour, and she’s calling on others to ride alongside her and turn determination into hope.
With classes starting from 9am and running for 45 minutes with 15-minute refuel breaks, riders can choose their own challenge: one class, a few back-to-back, or all eight for the ultimate test.
Every mile, every drop of sweat, and every rider plays a part in helping Amy reach her Fireflies Tour fundraising goal. This is more than a workout, it’s a chance to stand together, push limits, and make a real difference.
Join the ride, be part of the story, and ride with purpose. Or, if you’re not able to ride, show your support by making a donation.
If you are supporting by riding more than one class, feel free to use the code ‘THEMOREYOURIDE’ at the checkout to reduce your donation by 20%.
