LIVE! With Regis and Kelly teamed up with Dean for “Regis & Kelly’s Run Across America with Dean Karnazes,” a coast-to-coast challenge designed to inspire Americans to get up, get active and get healthy. Karnazes ran nearly 3,000 miles since starting in Southern California on February 25, averaging an unbelievable 40-50 miles daily, nearly the equivalent of two marathons every day. In addition to sending an important message about health and fitness, the run also benefited Action for Healthy Kids®, the nation’s leading nonprofit and largest volunteer network fighting childhood obesity and undernourishment. Action for Healthy Kids helps schools become healthier places and teaches kids to eat right, be active every day and ready to learn.
