FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - Riders pedaled in place at Broward Health Medical Center, and it was all for a worthy cause.

More than 200 people took part in the Second Annual Africk Family Foundation Spin-a-thon, Saturday.

The teams took turns cycling over a four-hour period in a test of endurance.
