Posted

CANTON -- "Kick It For Jadian" will be held April 12 from noon until 3 p.m. to raise awareness for epilepsy and honor a nine-year old girl from Potsdam who was diagnoses with Landau-Kleffner syndrome.

Jadian Andrews was diagnosed with Landau-Kleffner syndrome, a rare form of epilepsy that causes a progressive loss of speech and nighttime seizures. Andrews family have taken several trips to Burlington, VT for testing, diagnosis and continued treatment and have an upcoming trip to Boston Children’s Hospital this spring.

The fundraiser will feature a rotating schedule of Zumba, Tabata interval workouts and yoga. Kids are welcome to participate.

Aside from a full day of fitness, there also will be children's activities with prizes, pizza and snacks, a 50/50 raffle and a silent auction.

Admission is $ for ages 13 and over, $3 for ages 12 and under, $3 for college students and $15 for an immediate family plan.

The Wolf 95. 3 will broadcast live from the event.

Along with raising money for the families travel expenses, the Andrew’s family would like people to join them in raising awareness for Epilepsy through learning about the different faces of the disease. For more information, visit www.epilepsy.com
