History
In March 2011, Dr. Dick Barter, GoodLife group cycling instructor and emergency room physician in St. John’s NL, held a spin-a-thon event to help more Canadian kids get active. With the help of GoodLife Members and Associates the event raised $23,000. This success brought upon the idea of a coast to coast challenge to other GoodLife clubs – a nationwide spin-a-thon with participants raising funds for GoodLife Kids Foundation. The 1st annual Spin4Kids was born in 2012.
