Default Funfit Kids to Raise Money for St-Jude Research Hospital in MD-DC Area

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Healthy Funfit Kids Work Out to Raise Monies for St-Jude Hospital's
Kids
Celia Kibler, Owner of Funfit Says "Let's Get the Kids Involved in
their Own Health while Help Others"

Rockville, Maryland (RUSHPRNEWS) May 9, 2007 - Funfit Family Fitness
Center, a family-inclusive gym is organizing a fundraising event for
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital on Sunday, May 27, 2007 in
Rockville, Maryland. The Volunteer Coordinator for this event is Celia
Kibler, who encourages every family member to participate but
especially the kids. "This is a great opportunity for kids to get
sensitized to the plight of others, while encouraging healthy habits",
explained Kibler.

By allowing the community children to participate and attend this
event, not only will parents teach them the meaning of giving but also
will help raise funds for children of the world who are stricken with
diseases like cancer, AIDS and Sickle Cell Anemia.

Kids' participation in this fundraising is a true and timely lesson of
compassion and civic duty, since the funds raised during the event
will help St. Jude in its ongoing fight against childhood cancer and
other catastrophic diseases.

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is internationally recognized
for its pioneering work in finding cures and saving children with
cancer and other catastrophic diseases. Founded by the late
entertainer, Danny Thomas, and based in Memphis, Tennessee, St. Jude
freely shares its discoveries with scientific and medical communities
around the world.

One quality that makes St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
exceptional is its non-payment policy toward uninsured family with a
sick child. Kibler stated, "No family ever pays for treatments not
covered by insurance, and families without insurance are never asked
to pay. I just couldn't turn them down when they approached me for
help raising funds". St. Jude is financially supported by ALSAC, its
fund-raising organization, through events such as the Workout for St.
Jude.
Celia Kibler, a childhood obesity expert is well-known in the Maryland
and DC community for pioneering all-inclusive fitness programs,
including training and nutrition.

If you are interested in having your family participate or making a
donation, please call Celia Kibler at 301-975-0099.

Online registrations are also accepted at www.funfit.us under Maryland
Special Events. For more information on St. Jude Children's Research
Hospital, please visit www.stjude.org.
