In the light of the tragic situation in Afghanistan, the sacrifices made by our military have never been so apparent. To honor these brave men and women, Studio SWEAT onDemand (SSoD), a streaming fitness service based in San Diego, is holding a live, 24-hour Spinning Event, called The Hero Ride, to raise money for military families. The company has teamed up with the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), an organization that provides support to families grieving the death of military loved ones. Since 21 survivors connect with TAPS every single day, the fundraising goal is set at $12,121, which will be enough to provide many families with grief support, care and resources. The Hero Ride will take place from Noon on September 25, to Noon on September 26, and will feature various instructors from SSoD, cycling alongside a full class of riders (COVID-safe protocols will be followed throughout the event). Participating riders are encouraged to donate online, get sponsored by family and friends, ride along to the livestream, or reserve a place in-studio. RSVP on the Facebook event page.
