Also participating in the Sara Lee-Ralph's ``Run for Youth'' benefit run will be celebrities from many well-know television shows like Ally McBeal, Melrose Place, Baywatch, Providence and Felicity.

Don Rodriguez, Executive Director of the Hollywood Boys & Girls Club said, ``We are pleased to have the support of TSR Wireless and look forward to the positive reinforcement that 'Pages of Encouragement' will bring to our kids. Messages from these famous people will surely motivate the kids to work hard, stay dedicated, and feel good about themselves and their accomplishments.''

Samples of ``Pages of Encouragement'' that will be sent to the Hollywood Boys & Girls Club from celebrities are:

Bob and Dolores Hope:

- Stretch, drink plenty of water and make sure your shoelaces are tied.

- I used to be quite a runner. With an act like mine I had to learn to move fast to dodge the rotten tomatoes.

- Run fast, run well -- and when you get to a crosswalk look both ways.

Betty White:

- Just keep remembering to put one foot in front of the other until you find victory at the finish line.

Clint and Lisa Black:

-- You should run with your eyes open and your mouth closed. This will keep the bugs from sticking to your teeth.

``Pages of Encouragement'' originated from the mind of Marie Patrick, executive director of the L.A. Marathon.
