Anthony Edwards To Run In NYC Marathon To Benefit Shoes4Africa

Actor Anthony Edwards stopped by the studio to talk about running in this weekend's ING NYC Marathon, his charity Shoe4Africa and new film Motherhood, which is in theaters now.

The premier event of New York Road Runners, the ING New York City Marathon is one of the world's great road races, drawing more than 100,000 applicants annually.

The race attracts many world-class professional athletes, not only for the more than $600,000 in prize money, but also for the chance to excel in the media capital of the world before two million cheering spectators and 315 million worldwide television viewers. As any one of the more than 700,000 past participants will attest, crossing the finish line in Central Park is one of the great thrills of a lifetime.

Shoe4Africa's mission is to create empowerment through sports and education, implement health initiatives, promote AIDS awareness and to erect the Shoes4Africa Children's Hospital. For more information, visit www.shoe4africa.org.
