Putting the MOVE in Movement

Fighting Diabetes, Obesity, and Illiteracy—One Step at a Time

FitLit Movement LLC combines fitness, literacy, and technology to empower children, families, schools, and communities through engaging, movement-based learning.

About

My name is David Norec, a Christ-follower, type 2 diabetic, and the author of The Adventures of Exo and Cy

After losing three siblings to diabetes, I felt called to take action. In 2014, I created an interactive children’s book that teaches fitness, health, and literacy through movement—turning my personal mission into the FitLit Movement.

Today, FitLit Movement LLC empowers children, schools, and communities across Texas, combining education, exercise, and innovative programs to fight diabetes, obesity, and illiteracy.

The Adventures of Exo and Cy

Interactive Read & EXOCYSE-Along

Join Exo and Cy as they battle Mayor Diane Beeties (Diabetes) and Chip & Nacho (Potato Chips) to save O.B. City (Obesity) from becoming the unhealthiest city in the country!

Follow along with the story and do the same “EXOCYSES” as the characters—turning reading time into a fun, family-friendly workout. Gather your family and experience this one-of-a-kind interactive virtual book.

DOCUMENTORY

What is your "extra mile"? After losing three siblings to diabetes, God placed in my heart the idea to walk 250 extra miles...from McAllen, Texas to San Antonio, Texas. This documentary will follow my journey as I prepare, train, and walk to San Antonio. If you would like to contribute towards this Extra Mile Project, please reach out to me.
