See photo Page 17. 12-Week Event Will Benefit Action for Healthy Kids® NEW YORK, NY- “LIVE! with Regis and Kelly,” hosts Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa announced the popular morning talk show’s most ambitious undertaking yet. LIVE is teaming up with ultramarathon runner, author and motivator Dean Karnazes for “Re- gis & Kelly’s Run Across America with Dean Karnazes,” a coast-to-coast chal- lenge designed to inspire Americans to get up, get active and get healthy. Beginning in Southern California on February 25 with a spectacular kick- off event at The Disneyland Resort that will be broadcast that morning on LIVE, Karnazes will undertake the unthinkable: he’ll run nearly 3,000 miles, averaging an unbelievable 40- 50 miles daily, nearly the equivalent of two marathons every day. From Cali- fornia, he’ll make his way cross-coun- try through the Southwest, passing through Arizona and New Mexico on his way to America’s Heartland. After running through Kansas, Missouri, In- dianapolis and Ohio, he’ll head down to the nation’s capital, then travel north through Maryland and Pennsyl- vania, before completing his journey in mid-May when he runs into LIVE’s New York City studio, live on the air. In addition to sending an important message about health and fitness, the run also will benefit Action for Healthy Kids®, the nation’s leading nonprofit and largest volunteer network fighting childhood obesity and undernourish- ment. Action for Healthy Kids helps schools become healthier places and teaches kids to eat right, be active ev- ery day and ready to learn. As he runs, LIVE’s viewers will fol- low Karnazes’ challenges and tri- umphs as he takes on an amazing feat few athletes would attempt. LIVE will Running Coast-to-Coast to Inspire America cover Karnazes every step of the way, with regular live and taped video up- dates from the run. Karnazes also will maintain an on-going blog on the LIVE website, and tweet messages and photos from the road so viewers can keep track of his incredible odyssey. In many cities, there will be organized “Run with Dean” 5k events in which local runners can join the ultramara- thoner and be a part of his extraordi- nary cross-country trek. All proceeds from the 5k events will benefit Action for Healthy Kids and their efforts. Three key partners have joined LIVE and Karnazes to make “Regis & Kelly’s Run Across America with Dean Kar- nazes” possible. In conjunction with its Way to Well Commitment, Wal- greens will provide health checks for Karnazes as he makes his way from California to New York and provide wellness supplies for the three-month run. Eucerin is partnering with LIVE to build awareness of their “Skin First” mission, by encouraging people across the country to make skincare an es- sential part of their daily healthcare routines, as well as providing skincare tips and advice to viewers throughout the duration of the run. And as Kar- nazes journeys mile-by-mile across the country, OnStar will provide GM vehicles equipped with its full range of services, keeping Karnazes and his team connected and safe at all times. “We first got to know Dean when he tried to break a world record on our show, running more than 211 miles on a treadmill over a 48-hour period. The entire staff was amazed and in- spired by him,” said Michael Gelman, Executive Producer, “LIVE! with Regis and Kelly.” “This is an incredible op- portunity for us, to be working with a role model like Dean Karnazes on such a positive effort: encouraging fitness, fighting against childhood obesity, and hopefully inspiring our viewers to live healthier lives.” “America needs to reclaim its health,” noted Karnazes. “LIVE is bringing light to this critical situation and I am glad to be part of it. Let’s run!” “With more than 30% of children in this country overweight or obese we’re fighting a serious childhood obesity epidemic. We have to get our children eating well and moving more,” said Rob Bisceglie, Executive Director of Action for Healthy Kids. “That’s why SEE RUN ON PAGE 17
