One Tree Hill actress Sophia Bush has declared she’s training for a half-marathon! The self-professed non-runner plans to run the 13.1-mile 2010 North Carolina Battleship Half-Marathon come November in an effort to raise money for the people of the Gulf Coast via the Global Green USA charity.  Bush wrote on her blog, “They need all the help they can get. So I’m running. For the Gulf. For all of you. Because when my lungs start hurting, and my legs start screaming ‘this running business is BULL, Sophia!’ I think of all of YOU.” Find out how you can donate now.

On August 29th, 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated the city of New Orleans and its residents. Five years later, Tide Loads of Hope, a charity that provides relief for disaster victims by means of a mobile laundromat, will honor their resiliency and spirit with a free concert by their newest ambassador, Faith Hill, a Gulf Coast-area native. “”As a Mississippi native, I have witnessed the damage, both physical and emotional, that Hurricane Katrina inflicted on the Gulf Coast,” the country star said in statement. “I have been a champion of the work Tide does to restore a sense of hope and normalcy to those affected by disaster through providing a basic necessity—clean clothing.” The concert, being held August 24th in New Orleans, will only offer tickets via local radio contests, but you can pitch in right now by buying this vintage Tide T-shirt—all proceeds going towards the cause.
