THE owners at M&M Xtreme World of Fitness in Wangaratta, Mel and Michael Paul, are set for another epic effort supporting the Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre in the Sunshine Ride 2025.

Starting at 6pm on Friday, March 14, more than 300 riders from across the region will work in teams to keep the pedals turning on exercise bikes for a full 24 hours.

The challenge involving local gyms, sporting clubs, community groups and businesses aims to represent the round-the-clock struggle often faced by patients and families following a cancer diagnosis.

After raising a record $142,000 in 2024, organisers are this year hoping to top $150,000.

"We are primed for a big day at the M&M studio where it's all about having fun, being fit and supporting an incredible cause," Mel said.

"After a successful 2024 raising over $3000, we are excited to do it all over again with the help of our amazing community."

The gym has a 24 hour stationary bike ride that raises money for the Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre Trust Fund and volunteers are invited to join the challenge to pedal through the day and night.

"Cancer impacts everybody, and the cancer centre not only services Albury Wodonga but a large regional catchment of more than 300,000 people," Mel said.

"The centre makes it possible for most cancer sufferers to stay local for their treatment with support from their families.

"The M& M team are excited to be part of this event, promoting physical activity and promoting community is their absolute passion.

"Behind every cancer fighter and their family is the community standing by you and supporting you with love and hope in our hearts."
