On Saturday night, September 18th, Kathy's Health Club will under go a transformation.  It will be a ladies gym during the day, but at 7:00pm it will transform into a "nightclub" style dance hall, with a DJ, video screens, flashing lights and U-Jam Creator Susie C, leading a packed house for a great cause, "Fight the Fight Against Sickle Cell".  At Kathy's Health Club we call this transformation UJAM LIVE!. 

"This is one of the most important events we have ever held, and 100% percent of the profits will go to the "Sickle Cell Research", says Kathy Barney, owner of Kathy's Health Club.  "Our member, Vivian Jordan, lost a daughter, Felecia, to Sickle Cell Disease and her other daughter Jo'nette  fights the battle against Sickle Cell every day.  When I heard Vivian's story, it inspired me to do something to help "Fight the Fight" against this often ignored and many times misunderstood disease" adds Kathy.

We will have men and women (mostly women) dancing, burning calories, dropping dress sizes, and having tons of fun while supporting efforts to raise funds for Sickle Cell Research.  Now that's a great combination!." says Kathy.

This event is dedicated to and in memory of Felecia Jordan
