ONE IN A MILLION
Britney Spears, Mario Lopez and charity riders peddled bikes at XCYCLE Las Vegas to raise $1 million to fight cancer in children.
BRITNEY SPEARS HELPS FIGHT CHILDHOOD CANCER
Britney Spears just peddled her way to her goal of raising $1 million in the fight for children with cancer. “When I started my residency in Las Vegas in 2013, I felt it was really important to do my part for the community,” Spears explains. “I lost my Aunt Sandra to cancer, so the battle is personal
for me. And as a mother, I’m especially touched by children’s causes. I adore the kids that I’ve met through my work with the Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation.” The charity ride she hosted with Mario Lopez attracted dozens of riders to XCYCLE Las Vegas.“My pledge to NCCF was to raise $1 million for them to build a new facility. I’m proud to say we hit our mark!”
