Relay for Life

Way to go FIT COUNTY team!!! This was our first year for FIT COUNTY to have a team in the La Grange Relay for Life and we had such a great time and even better, we raised over $6,000 as a team for the American Cancer Society!

We felt very passionate about being a part of this event as it is our mission to encourage active and healthy living to help decrease risks of diseases such as cancer. We walked all night long to honor all those who have been affected by cancer and to encourage everyone to do our part to help reduce our risk of this terrible disease by taking care of these wonderful bodies we've been given. Thank you to the Relay for Life Committee for putting on a successful event and to all those who participated and donated for this amazing cause. Let's get ready for next year!

ZUMBA-a total body, calorie burning, Latin
