Fireflies fundraiser

Sun 22 March

‘For those who suffer we ride’ - to raise vital funds for The Blood Fund.

On Sunday 22nd March at Surrey Sports Park, Amy Coomber is taking on an extraordinary challenge for the Fireflies Fundraiser, eight back-to-back spin classes inspired by last year’s journey from Geneva to Nice. 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 brings us closer to the £2.5k 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
