Thousands Meet the "Challenge"

By Antonio D. French

Filed Monday, July 30, 2007 at 8:02 AM

State Representative Connie Johnson and an awkward State Senator Harry Kennedy joined celebrity doctor Ian Smith, comedian J. Anthony Brown, old school hip-hoppers Biz Markie and Slick Rick, St. Louis Ram legend Marshall Faulk, and other celebrities at the 50 Million Pound Challenge event at Union Station this weekend.

The Challenge is a party with a purpose, promoting physical fitness and health among African Americans while bringing some great (and free, thanks to State Farm) music performances to cities all across America.



Organizers called the St. Louis event a huge success, with thousands of people showing up and tens of thousands of pounds pledged to be lost.

It is so funny that you say "the awkward Harry Kennedy" That is so true. I took dance lessons with him
and he had NO rhythm. We took an exercize class together and still NO rhythm.Slow dancing meant we stood still and held each other.
Poor Harry.... A good white man with NO rhythm.
