The former First Daughter and SoulCycle have raised $66,810 for the earthquake victims in Haiti by hosting a special 90-minute spin class in New York City Thursday.
Clinton, a member and regular at the indoor cycling studio, was overjoyed by the rapid response of donations made by dedicated riders – including Kelly Ripa and husband Mark Consuelos who both generously opened their checkbook and participated in the calorie-burning class.
"Thank you all for being here to support this effort," Clinton, 29, said. "I hope you all continue to support Haiti over the months and years to come."
Just a few days ago, she and her father, former President Bill Clinton, visited Haiti experiencing the disaster first hand. "The day after the earthquake struck, the international community fed 3,000 people," Clinton said. "Today, people have fed 100,000 people and we actually need to be feeding a million people. This demonstrates how much we've done, but how much more work we have to do. We need a lot of money to do that."
Good eye, rachel. I totally missed it at first look. Chelsea must make her parents extremely proud.
