Non-profit event at Planet Fitness gym

On Saturday, I took part as staff at a non-profit charity event. My primary purpose there was to show up as a costumed character to entertain the people there a bit and sometimes help out with handing out prizes. Several people were cycling (spinning) for eight hours and they had to be entertained and motivated throughout the day.

Overall, I showed up twice as Spider-Man. Staying too long or showing up too many times would reduce the effect. Several of my business cards at the registratino desk were picked up. I also managed to get some photos, but the mirrors and sunlight caused some lighting issues. Pictures should be up on my costume renting website.

The adults needed more entertainment, than the children. The entire event was to collect money for disabled children and cancer awareness. Two of the people present are also going to try and break the 72 hours world record in spinning. Another organisation present was run by children and it was an organisation that arranges wheelchairs for disabled children. Chaeli was present in a motorised wheelchair. Her sisters run that organisation. Please see The Chaeli Campaign for more details about this.
