SWEAT FOR A GOOD CAUSE TO HELP THE HOMELESS AT HOMESTART'S ANNUAL ICYCLE EVENT - AND ENTER INTO ESPY AWARDS TRIP

WHAT: Boston-based organization, HomeStart, once again welcomes fellow cycling fanatics at this year’s 9th annual ICycle event on Thursday, February 25, 2016. The all-day outdoor cycling/spinning fundraiser will take place on the plaza of One International Place, and feature hour long spin classes where participants will bike for a worthy cause. HomeStart is looking to break last year’s record amount when more than 200 riders raised about $203,000.

The ICycle event is a reminder to all that spending just one hour out in the cold, rain or snow is nothing compared to living without the comforts of a home. Proceeds from the event will support HomeStart’s continued effort to fight homelessness.

In addition, sport team mascots and local media celebrities will also make special appearances to support the riders.
