JONATHON PRINCE TO RUN ACROSS U.S. AGAIN;
RUN4RELIEF II AIMS TO RAISE $100,000
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drinkables®, To Once Again Sponsor “Black Forrest Gump”
ATLANTA, GA (June 12, 2005) –
Jonathon Prince, who last year become an American cult hero with his amazing cross-country run to raise money for Hurricane Katrina victims, will set off on Run 4 Relief II, a new journey from Atlanta to New York to New Orleans. He will start on Saturday, June 24 and conclude on or near September 30.xxx
Prince, an assistant producer-turned-philanthropist, plans to average roughly
20-25 miles per day, with morning, afternoon and early-evening runs filling his day. He will rest on Sundays. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Prince, who was labeled "Black Forrest Gump", will complete his over 2,400-mile run in just over three months.xx
Individuals wishing to make a donation in the name of Run 4 Relief IIcan do so by visiting www.Run4Relief.org. Upon making a donation by clicking the www.Kintera.org link, all proceeds raised from the run will be forwarded directly to Habitat for Humanity, as it did during Prince’s first run to support their efforts to rebuild homes for hurricane victims and will not be used to benefit Prince in any manner.xxx
"It’s not over," says Prince. "There is still so much more to be done, and because things happen so fast in the media, you rarely hear about Katrina anymore. But people are still suffering from this. Hopefully, I can help replenish the spirits by raising more money during this predictably bad Hurricane season, while still showing that someone cares and hasn’t forgotten."xx
Prince is setting off on his journey with little more than the shirt on his back. He will be pushing a jogging stroller to keep essential items, items that he will rely on the country to provide, such as water and several changes of clothes (see Run4Relief.org, click on Equipment for more info).xx
"That’s it," claims Prince. The rest is up to the great people of this country. I need them to rally behind me and show their support." In an effort to complete his journey, he is again urging individuals and corporate America to get involved to help offset his daily expenses.xx

"We are extremely honored to help Jonathon achieve his goal…again!" said Bill Steele, president of Remington Health Products, Inc., makers of Drinkables. "As long as Jonathon wants to keep running, we will keep supporting him. As I said last time, what he is doing is simply one of the most compelling and noble things I’ve ever seen in my entire life. We at Remington Health are once again proud to be associated with this prince of a man."xxxx
Prince says through all the phone calls and emails, I’ve realized that Run4Relief is bigger then hurricanes or Katrina. "People relate to what I’m doing," says Prince. “Run4Relief is a worldwide denominator everyone faces to lift the pressures of the world off their shoulders. So again I encourage as many people as possible to join me with an experience that will clearly change your life and a promise of being part of something you will never forget. It’s going to be a very long journey, so the more people that get involved, the better. Together, collectively, we can make a difference for the citizens of our country in need.”
