3rd Annual Mary Ellen’s Ride For Survivors

BURBANK YMCA (READING)

Mary Ellen passed away from cancer in June 2020. She raised her son, Corey, in Reading and spent over 10 years at the Burbank YMCA lighting up our spin room with her amazing classes. Known for her love of all types of music, on-bike trivia games and her annual Blues Brothers ride, she inspired everyone with her positive attitude and encouraging mantra “Who’s better than you? Nobody!”

Join us for an outdoor spin fundraiser in her memory. This year, this ride is fundraising for Burbank YMCA’s Livestrong Program – a program that provides a free 12-week membership, support and fitness program to cancer survivors.
