OlderSophia Bush To Run Half-Marathon For The Gulf
Sophia Bush just announced that she’s going to run a half-marathon (13.1 miles) to raise more funds for the victims of the Gulf Coast oil spill.
“I am going to run a half marathon this November,” the 28-year-old actress blogged. “Yup. Me. The asthmatic with a years-old knee injury, who hasn’t run a mile since Junior High. No seriously.”
Sophia continued, “I am going to work on video blogs for all of you, so you can meet the team members and our sponsors, you can see our runs, track our progress, and maybe even run with us, wherever you are! Imagine it. Hundreds, or even thousands of us, running all over the country, maybe all over the world! That would certainly show the powers that be that we will not back down. We will not be quiet. We will make our Little Voices heard!”

This woman had a huge and beautiful heart,she’s a good role model.And for the record she’s 28 years old now :)
Good for her. Never cared about her until I read her blogs. She’s a great inspiration for everyone.
i don’t know
She’s amazing!

This girl is damn annoying. Horrible actress on a horrible show and I laughed at her pathetic tirade against Urban Outfitters.
She’s amazing! She fights for his ideas and she inspires those who read her apart on the haters of course!
Joyce you are so stupid. Even if you do not like her, you can not mean being against what it says on UO! Unless you’re a pro ana pfff
What bad faith all the haters
@nina: No, but it is annoying when women imply that you have to be curvy to be all woman.
zlist the only thing shes known for is her divorce
good publicity?
@sdada:
Shutup you loser. She is known for SO much more and you’re the first idiot to randomly bring up her divorce.
Sophia an amazing woman and she has proven that even more in the last several weeks. I know plenty of people who never even watched One Tree Hill a single day in their life but have come to know and admire Sophia through everything she has been doing in the last few months regarding so many issues.
All I can say to her, is KEEP IT UP.
She’s amazing period
whatever it may be at least she is doing something when in reality she doesn’t really have to give a sh*t about the Gulf since she’s not even from there.
wow. pathetic much? a year knee injury from what kneeling on the floor? and it is so sad that in order to donate money to a great cause she has to have a certain amount of followers. she’s just trying to get followers. anyone who is genuinely passionate about something wouldn’t do that, they would donate no matter what. It’s just disgusting how she has manipulated the public, especially those young fans who look up to her. she really knows how to circle things around her finger. she WAS a journalism major so of course she’s going to be good with words.

I think it’s great that she’s doing this. The people and the animals in the gulf need help and she’s tried to do as much as she can. So she’s not an A list celebrity. Who cares. Atleast she’s trying to do what she can to help. I stopped following her on twitter because I thought she was becoming a bit too preachy and it got on my nerves, but I still think it’s great that she’s trying to help out so much with different causes. Good for her.
i don’t get it u people are mean to her because she donates money to charity, would u be nicer if she did nothing to help?
@fashion smashion:
You my dear make me laugh.
I am a huge fan of Sophia’s and I always read every article that Jared posts of her on this site. Let’s just say this isn’t the first time I’ve seen you write a not so nice post about Sophia. Here’s my advice to you–If you don’t like her, then STAY away. Maybe try doing something more worthwhile and meaningful with your life instead of wasting your time ripping into people you claim to not like??
Sophia poured her heart out in her latest blog entry and it was BEAUTIFULLY written. You seem to take a knee injury very lightly. Perhaps, if you’ve ever been in someone’s shoes who has had an injury like that, then you wouldn’t be so quick to judge. My ex-boyfriend lost out on several scholarships to several universities due to a knee injury while one of my close friends walks with a slight limp due to hers. You don’t know the exact details of how severe Sophia’s knee injury was, so until then why don’t you stop assuming things? Because a knee injury isn’t something to be taken lightly and can result in changing a person’s entire life.
And when was the last time Sophia tried to get followers? The only time she tried to gather up people to follow her was when she first got twitter last month when she was going down to the Gulf Coast. The sole reason she even opened up a twitter account was to start tweeting about what was going on in the gulf which she did. And she was right, the more followers she has, the more people will learn about it. I have seen SO MANY people comment about how had they not been following Sophia, they would have never known the true extent of the damage in the Gulf. And it resulted in them spreading the word onto their families and friends and even made them want to donate to help out.
And FYI, Sophia donated money herself before she started tweeting and going into details about the spill and then asked people to contribute as well if they wanted.
She HASN’T manipulated anyone and STOP thinking that everyone else besides you is too dumb to see things for themselves. And FYI, young fans aren’t the only ones who look up to her. Ever since Sophia joined the social media, I’ve seen countless people in their twenties, thirties, and forties rave about Sophia and her efforts to bring awareness to various charities.
I’m 26 and I’m more than PROUD to say that I am a fan of Sophia’s and I truly admire what she is doing, along with many other people and thousands of her followers.
I’m a current law student and I think I would know by now if I was being “manipulated” by anyone. We can all think for ourselves and don’t need someone who calls herself “fashion smashion” to tell us we’re being tricked into doing something we shouldn’t. Just Saying.
gotta hand it to the little chubsters PR! now, maybe she will get a little publicity, so most of America will no longer think shes George Bush’s stupid daughter AND she might actually shed off the ALLLLLL the pounds shes packed on over the years!! Go sophia ..more PR and loss of about 10-15 lbs might ACTUALLY make you famous xo now if we could just get her to stop sleeping with all her co-stars.. hmmm
man this chick is pathetic… anything for followers. sad thing is.. her PR is pretty smart.. get Sophia in the news AND make her loose all the weight shes gained.. She doesnt write “beautifully” her letter to Urban Outfitters was filled with minor typos.. she didnt even graduate college. sophia EAT LESS and stop being so fake
You want to know what’s really pathetic??? It’s the haters. It’s so obvious with anyone with even half a brain that it’s the same few obnoxious, no-life idiots who keep posting incredibly stupid comments while using a different name every time. And it’s also obvious that they’re letting out all of their frustration on this website seeing as how they’re so lost and confused.LMAO
It must kill these psychos to see the incredible and overwhelming amount of support Sophia has received from so manyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy people all over the world ever since she joined Twitter and started blogging. Not a day goes by when I don’t see many,many people talk about how much Sophia has impacted them and has made them want to contribute more to the world around them. Now that’s what I call impressive.
It’s slowly killing the haters and has resulted in them lashing out like stupid buffoons. I find the whole thing quite hilarious.
Any ways, keep posting your stupid comments haters because all its doing is giving this article more hits and therefore, makes Jared post more about Sophia and put her in his “Top Stories” column. ;)
Good Luck with your incredibly sorry lives, you morons!!
Good on her and it’s for a good cause too!
I wanna rip her spandex after the marathon and lick the pooper of her’s !!!!
she might believes in the things….but the perk is publicity
I agree, but do you really need to make everyone approve and see your good actions?
Unless you need the publicity, and what would be so wrong about it, that’s how the business work,let’s be realistic.
BUT
I agree with zero is not a size and that we should help to protect nature (and that is something everybody should think about)
@no.:
Right on! Thank you for defending her because she is just so wonderful. I am also 26 and a Criminal Justice degree student and I am so proud to be a fan of hers and helping both her and Austin with all the wonderful things they are doing! Kuddos to you :)
I meant my comment to go to Sharon NOT no. People who write hateful things are just disturbed. Didn’t anyones mother’s teach them if they didn’t have anything nice to say, then not to say anything at all?
