Go Heather!

Emmy winner Heather Tom (Katie, THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL) participated in the 22nd Annual Nautica Malibu Triathlon yesterday to benefit Childrens Hospital Los Angeles and its Pediatric Cancer Research Program.

Participants in triathlon put their skills to the test on a course that included a half- mile swim in the Pacific Ocean, an 18-mile bicycle ride along the beautiful Pacific Coast Highway and a four-mile run along the sands of Zuma Beach.

In addition to pushing themselves physically, competitors raced for a worthy cause. This is the second year that proceeds from the Nautica Malibu Triathlon will benefit the world-renowned Childrens Hospital Los Angeles and its Pediatric Cancer Research Program. Previously, the event raised nearly $780,000 for Childrens Hospital and organizers are aiming to raise even more in 2008.

Wally Kurth, Winsor Harmon, Alec Musser and Emily Warfield had previously been advertised for this event as well.
