Meet our winners

Taking home the trophy, Donna Cerami of Hopewell Junction, NY, accomplished the seemingly impossible – 93 workouts. Her commitment to fitness and health began at age 27, and hasn’t waned, as she gets ready to turn 59. What’s her secret to three decades of staying on track? Cerami – an employee of the Dutchess County Department of Behavioral & Community Health – said: “If I can move my body, I move it.”


In second was Sharon Hospital X-ray technologist Therese Kissko with 36 entries. Stressed from COVID-19, the Torrington, Conn., resident signed up for Get Fit to get her exercise back on track this spring. “The challenge definitely motivated me to get moving a little more,” said Kissko, who selected a mini exercise bike for her reward.


The final prize winner was Mary Jalloh of Poughkeepsie, NY. She logged 42 workouts. “It gave me motivation to do strength training and get back to the walking I had been doing before (rotator cuff) surgery in March," the retired Ulster BOCES administrator said. "I felt like I had to do something every day.”  Jalloh is a world traveler and adventurer and used Get Fit to get into shape and be ready for her next big trip to the Canary Islands.


Nuvance Health is thrilled our wellness challenge has had such an impact on our winners and we hope you found the six weeks exhilarating and rewarding!
