8th Continent, a brand of fantastic soymilk, will be out in force at the LA Marathon on March 21st. Child S.H.A.R.E. will join 8th Continent at Mile 8 of the Marathon. Meet 8th Continent’s “soylbrity,” the unforgettable Lopez, and learn more about their LA Marathon by visiting www.8cpassport.com.

25. You can check running a Marathon off your “Bucket List.”

24. You are a fan of Tim McGraw, Eleanor Roosevelt, or Superman – they are all adopted!

23. You’re a Democrat- Obama has called on all Americans to “serve” in their communities.

22. You’re Republican- one of Ronald Reagan’s sons and one of John McCain’s daughters is adopted.

21. Choose to run instead of drive on your local errands, you will save on gas.

20. You will be in top shape just in time for the summer.

19. If you are single: Running groups are an excellent place to meet fit, motivated, potential dates.

18. If you are married: Running is a great way to have some alone time & zone out.

17. If you are a parent: You can build your running speed, so you can keep up with your kids for a change.

16. FINALLY keep that New Year’s Resolution to get in shape.

15. You will get a cool, new, official and exclusive Team Child S.H.A.R.E. T-shirt.

13. You will have a good excuse to go shopping for new shoes & clothes.

12. You will have an excuse to request a foot massage from your partner.

11.  Running the marathon will give you a good excuse to reward yourself for a huge accomplishment… with something like a new BMW, or those Jimmy Choo’s you’ve been drooling over, etc.

10. Your backside will be a little firmer, higher, and cuter.

9. After completing a marathon you will join an elite group of athletes, as fewer than 1 percent of Americans have ever finished a marathon.

8. By training, you will improve your cardiovascular health and increase your chances of living a long, healthy, happy life.

7. Running outdoors will enable you to hone a greater appreciation for nature and the increased exposure to sunlight will give you more Vitamin D.

6. You will visit parts of LA you never thought you’d see, such as Rodeo Drive and the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

5. Gives you time to work on your Forrest Gump impersonation.

4. Exercise & helping others builds endorphins.  Endorphins make you happy and everyone likes happy people.

3.  It’s the only way to get from the Eastside to the Westside of LA in less than 6 hours.

2. Pasta! Potatoes! Bread! Carbs will FINALLY be your friend!     

1. You will help give the priceless gift of a safe and loving home to a foster child.
