Every November, celebrities flock to New York City in the name of charity and run The ING New York City Marathon and ETonline can exclusively reveal that multi-hyphenate Pamela Anderson will running this year in support of J/P Haitian Relief Organization, a non-profit organization founded by Sean Penn in response to the 2010 earthquakes in Haiti!
"I've
been a supporter of JP from early stages," Anderson exclusively tells
ETonline. "In last few years I have become more involved. If you go to
Haiti. You fall in love.
It is intoxicating. I have worked to defend animal rights and
environmental warriors for decades. They all cross paths. Haiti has been
mostly deforested sadly, which affects wildlife and people. It is
vulnerable. I really believe Haiti might be the heart of the world."
Anderson will join five elite Haitian marathon runners as part of J/P HRO’s "The Long Run for Haiti" campaign:
Astrel Clovis, 43, Petrus Cesarion, 31, Jean Macksony, 27, Bertine
Laine, 31 and Carline Lamour, 21 -- each making their first-ever visits
to the United States!
J/P HRO's "The Long Run for Haiti" campaign will be raising funds through CrowdRise
to support J/P HRO programs that provide health care, education,
construction, and the safe return to permanent housing for people left
homeless by the 2010 earthquake.
"I've never taken on a physical
challenge like this but I am willing to do something to show my
dedication," Anderson adds. "It is incomparable to the struggle people
face. I didn't just want to be the kiss at the finish line. I wanted to
do more and if I can raise $500,000, it is going to be a blessing to
Haiti.
