EAST Londoners this weekend  can spin their way towards raising funds for a local charity.
Ultimate Events and Body Culture  Health and Wellness Centre are hosting the Body Culture 48-hour Charity  Spinathon at the Hemingways Mall  amphitheatre at the weekend. 
Pedals started spinning yesterday as  people from all over the city joined in  the fun in aid of a good cause.
Brett Armstrong of Ultimate Events  will be doing the full 48 hours while  one-hour slots are available to corporate groups and members of the public . Body Culture has donated 35 spinning bikes for the cause, which will be  on hire for participants at R50 per  hour, with all proceeds going to the  charity – Living Waters.
“Living Waters does an amazing job  and they are a dynamic team led by  Melonie Gobel, and so far we’ve received massive support from corporates and the communities who have  jumped on board,” said Armstrong.
Living Waters CEO Melonie Gobel  also joined Armstrong and the other  spinners. Despite being slightly out of  breath, she wore a smile on her face  and showed much appreciation for the  support given to Living Waters.
