March of Dimes on LIVE with Regis and Kelly
March of Dimes National Ambassador Catherine Aboulhouda age 6, and her mom, Susan, joined Kelly Ripa and Regis Philbin last week at the LIVE with Regis & Kelly High Heel-a-Thon held in Central Park to benefit the March of Dimes. LIVE arranged for a special $60,000 donation to the March of Dimes towards our goal to give every baby a healthy start in life. The first-ever (but promised to be annual!) High Heel-a-Thon was a huge success as thousands of spectators gathered in the early morning hours to watch more than 500 contestants prepare for and run a 150-yard mad dash in high heels. Catherine and Susan engaged people at the March of Dimes information booth, and afterwards got to chat with Regis and Kelly at the awards podium.
