Kapiolani Park
Tag the World is a charity event to raise awareness about 5 different causes - Cancer, Children, Africa, Global Awareness, and animals. When I heard it was coming to Hawaii I jumped at the chance to volunteer for this and also dragged Jalna and Erick with me. Originally Mia Hamm, Laird Hamilton and Gabrielle Reece were all supposed to participate, which was the main reason I wanted to do this...how cool would that be?? Unfortunately they couldn't attend but I had an awesome time anyways!
This is
Robert Parks-Valleta, the force behind the project...he's an actor on The Young and The Restless, and also president of Tag the World...

This is his hard working and beautiful side-kick,
Hannah Cornett...actress/pro-athlete/VP of Tag the World



This is 13 year old
Sacha Edwards singing the national anthem...man can this girl sing!

This is Doug Beter from
Rainbow Pigeons...5 foster children each let a bird go, each representing a tag
What a coincidence! This is the guy who's gear I took a picture of!

You mean people actually have fun riding up Montserrat? It's hard even walking that hill!


Coming down by Triangle Park...

And finally the home stretch down Diamond Head...if you look closely, you'll see that he's wearing a Cat In The Hat jersey! So cute!

After I got bored shooting the bikers, I took a ride down to the finish line...this is Jeremy Jackson sprinting all the way to the end!

Here's Robert and his relay partner!
