Several Livingston Public School (LPS) staff members and students spent time together on February 3 at Equinox gym in Summit to join the battle against rare cancers. These dedicated spinners participated in Cycle for Survival, a high energy indoor team cycling event founded by the late Jennifer Goodman Linn, a former Livingston resident, and her husband Dave. A non-profit organization, Cycle for Survival raises money to fund life-saving rare cancer research.

LPS teams included The Might Mites, led by superintendent of schools Chris Steffner; Lancers vs. Cancer, led by Livingston High school assistant principal, Danielle Rosenzweig; and the Cycling Eagles of Heritage Middle School, led by HMS principal secretary Christina Woytas. Together, these LPS teams raised more than $9,000.

Livingston Board of Education president Pam Chirls rode as part of the 6AM Spinners team, led by LHS secretary Martha Ackermann. The 6AM Spinners, which also included LPS parents and staff, raised more than $16,000. (See more photos here)
