Jesse Baker, Owner
One Eighty Fit Gym
As the owner of 180 Fit Gym, I am honored to present to the community our second annual fundraiser for the Ride to Remember. For the past 3 years, the 106-mile bike ride from Springfield to Boston has been raising money for the Massachusetts Law Enforcement Memorial. Last year the event raised $85,000.
I have always admired the courage of our emergency response professionals. Therefore, I was honored when approached by Sgt.
John Delaney and Judy Matt of the Spirit of Springfield to participate in this campaign. The Ride to Remember is an opportunity for our community to acknowledge those men and women who selflessly gave their lives to protect the lives of others.
Last year, we positioned all of our spin bikes in front of our building at 1350 Main Street. Our instructors led the riders on an exciting cycling experience. The response was huge! Mayors Sarno, Sullivan and Knapik attended the event along with many public figures. In total, the event raised over $5,000.
This year, we are looking to improve upon an already successful platform. We have added some interesting twists to this year's ride. We have mounted the bikes with RPM readers for a new challenge, and squaring off some of our celebrity riders against one another to see who can generate more power and hopefully, more money for the charity. Please come support law enforcement, and our community!
