Spinning
Friday, August 10, 2012
Fitness trainer Trudz Houkamau (left) put her legs to work yesterday in a 12-hour non-stop spin cycle challenge in the Pak’n Save foyer.

It was part of the Chumpchange fundraising drive to raise money to combat breast cancer.

The exact amount raised is still to be confirmed but Mrs Houkamau reckons with “four bucketsful” of donations, it could easily add $1000 to the target to raise $30,000 for the cause by Pink Ribbon Day in October.

It would bring the total so far to about $8000.

Alongside her are some of her supporters who joined her in shifts throughout the day.
