Group goes on the run to help sick children
Sanaa Lathan and Orlando Jones will host a charity run, “Little Legs With Big Hearts,” at UCLA Drake Stadium today to benefit children with sickle cell disease.
The event, which starts at 10 a.m., will feature children ages 1 to 6 who will run quarter-mile laps on the stadium’s track.
The run is sponsored by B-Dads, a volunteer group of fathers who say they want to “counter the deadbeat dad” stereotype.
Other celebrities scheduled to appear include Gary Dourdan (“CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”), Isiah Washington, Boris Kodjoe and Nicole Parker (“Second Time Around”).
Organizers are asking for $20 to attend or participate in the run, which will be followed by an ice cream party, a concert and a gift bag giveaway.
