The Calgary Community Spinathon is a 4-hour spin (or less if you wish) supporting MitoCanada. Bringing the YYC cyclists together to spin to raise money to support others has been a passion and tradition for over 18 years. Founded by Rose Serpico, the MitoCanada Spinathon will be organized by RnR Premier Events in 2025.
You can expect incredible instructors, good food and a fun time on your bike. We welcome you to spin anywhere from 1 - 4 hours and stay for yoga and social time afterwards. We will have local vendors and organizations who will be donating to MitoCanada.
Join our community on February 8th to SPIN FOR MITO!

MitoCanada is Canada’s only registered health foundation dedicated to transforming the lives of individuals, families and caregivers with mitochondrial disease.
Their mission is to energize and support patients, families, and healthcare providers across Canada through education, awareness, support and research. They are facilitating a future where Canadians impacted by this debilitating disease feel inspired, empowered, and supported to live their best lives.
MitoCanada promises to continue to work toward its vision with courage, innovative thinking, and uncompromising commitment as we embrace our responsibility to:
-
increase awareness of mitochondrial disease with the public, health care providers, government, insurance providers and employers
-
ensure access to diagnostic tests that facilitate early and accurate diagnosis to minimize life-long, irreversible impairments
-
introduce effective treatments that offer hope and protect quality of life
-
develop comprehensive clinical care models
-
establish a Canadian data registry that includes data collection of disease-specific symptoms, diagnostic journeys, experiences, therapies, and outcomes
-
target research to enhance our basic understanding of mitochondrial health and disease so we can identify, protect and support the MitoCommunity as early as possible and for as long as they need
What are Adapted Bikes?
Adapted bikes and trikes have been customized to provide special supportive seats, side stabilizing wheels, raised footplates, specialized handlebars, pedal assist and other features that help children and youth propel, steer and control a bike with confidence.
How the Adapted Bike Program Works:
As a mitoRide program participant, your mito child/youth will be a member of and attend the CP Kids and Families adapted bike program in Calgary. Your child’s neuromotor abilities will be assessed at their bike clinic, and 1-3 modified bikes/trikes will be selected by staff for your child to try. You and your child choose the bike/trike they are most comfortable with.
Adapted bikes and trikes can cost anywhere from $500 - $5000 per bike, depending on the adaptations and physical needs of a child/youth. The high cost of modified bikes makes them unattainable for many families; together, CP Kids and Families and MitoCanada want to ensure children and youth living with mitochondrial disease discover the joy of riding while building strength and endurance to help manage their mito.
