Bergen Cyclists To Take A 'Ride Of A Life Time' For Children's Health
A charity cycle event later this month is raising funds for children's hospitals to fund life-saving treatments and services.
BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — Bergen County cyclists are participating in the ride of a life time to raise funds for children's health.
In Montvale and Hackensack on April 29, the Life Time Foundation is hosting its third-annual charity cycle event to raise money for local Children's Miracle Network hospitals and the foundation.
More than 10,000 riders across North America are expected to ride to raise funds for 170 CMN member hospitals that support the health of 10 million kids each year across the U.S. and Canada. Local proceeds will benefit the Children's Specialized Hospital.

Life Time has set a record $1.5 million fundraising goal after raising more than $1 million last year. Donations go to local hospitals to fund life-saving treatments and healthcare services, along with research and pediatric medical equipment.
Riders at either Life Time Bergen County in Montvale, or Life Time The Shops at Riverside in Hackensack, can expect a "fun, heart-pounding collaboration of indoor cycle formats," a foundation spokesperson said.
