How’s that for a headline?! Seriously, I sat there for a good ten minutes trying to fit all those words in one sentence.
Ryan Reynolds has just announced that he will be joining Team Fox for the New York City Marathon in support of Michael J. Fox’s foundation to fight against Parkinson’s Disease.
Now to the bloody nipple part! Years ago Ryan watched the New York City Marathon and recalls: “I saw guys coming in to finish with bleeding nipples. Why in the hell were their nipples bleeding? People were crying. People were limping, hobbling, screaming, crawling… I breathed in deeply and decided something: I’d never f—ing do that ever, ever. What in the f— were these idiots thinking? Bleeding nipples. Bleeding. Nipples.” Ouch!
Ryan, however, has changed his tune and recently told the Huffington Post: “I’m running in The ING NYC Marathon as a member of Team Fox because I support the Foundation’s urgent mission and I believe that together we can improve the lives of those living with Parkinson’s and put an end to this disease.”
Reynolds has set a fundraising goal of $55,000 and needs your help to meet it! If you’d like to support Ryan, and his nipples, logon to TeamFox.org and drop a little dough!
