Evan has some experience as a
long-distance runner, having run varsity track and cross-country at
Great Neck South and Tufts University. He also trained extensively
for his 2008 appearance on the Sci-Fi reality game show CHA$E. But
he “hadn’t been running that much” in recent years because, he
explained, “I didn’t have something to train for.” The New York City
marathon, on the other hand, is “a big something.”
A big something for a big
cause: Evan’s run in the marathon will support the “Fight for Kids”
campaign launched by the nonprofit organization Citizens’ Commission
on Human Rights (CCHR).”Fight for Kids” seeks to resist the
psychiatric over-drugging and labeling of children by educating and
offering alternatives to parents. Evan is also selling College The
Musical: A Musical About College soundtracks at all his shows to
benefit “Fight for Kids.”
Upcoming show dates include
Nov. 9 at Texas State University-San Marcos and James Madison
University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. And the show keeps going, even
after the marathon, with a College performance scheduled for Nov. 20
at Mercer County Community College in Princeton, NJ.
