NORWOOD -- “Get Fit for a Cure” at Claire’s Fitness Fun Day on Saturday, April 8, from 1 to 4 p.m. in the Norwood Norfolk Central School elementary gym and among the features will be a bounce house.

Last year, Team Claire and the NNCS Key Club invited families from all over the North Country to the event and raised over $3,700 for The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, in honor of NNCS first grader Claire Nezezon, daughter of Kris and Jessica Nezezon of Norwood.

Claire was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis when she was two weeks old. At the time, her family had no idea what CF even was, but only heard the words “life threatening” and knew this sweet beautiful little girl would have to fight hard, but certainly not alone.

“We knew we had to be strong for Claire and we were willing to do whatever we had to do, to keep her healthy,” Jessica Nezezon said. “It’s amazing the support Claire has and the amount of family and friends that have come together to form Team Claire, to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in hopes of a cure in Claire’s future.

Admission is $5 for kids and free for adults or kids age three and under.

Claire’s Fitness Fun Day was created to encourage kids to exercise but to show them how to do so in a fun way. Throughout the day there will be instructors from local businesses and youth programs demonstrating their form of fitness, while having the kids follow along to fun music.

Kids can try Zumba, Tae Kwon Do, Dance, hockey, basketball, a personal trainer will lead them in a “Kid Fit Class”, an obstacle course, a scavenger hunt with prizes, and Exercise with Elsa.

The Clarkson University women's hockey team will also be in attendance.

There will also be face painting, crafts, a snack bar, and a silent auction and raffle.
