On a live satellite feed from Jacksonville, Florida, Gary Marino began his 1,200-mile cross country weight loss walk to champion obesity awareness in the U.S.A. With an estimated 10 million people watching, Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa waved the starting flag for Gary Marino and his road team to began the unprecedented "March" from Florida to Boston.
2 ½ months later as the Million Calorie March arrived in Washington D.C . Marino hosted a second live remote on "Regis & Kelly", this one from the Mall of Washington. A large crowd of children and adults involved in the D.C. area's health effort appeared in the background as well. While in the nation's Capital, Marino met with 15 U.S. Senators and Congressmen to discuss the obesity epidemic.
As the walk entered Manhattan in late June, an ABC news helicopter followed Marino and his road team over the George Washington Bridge and up Broadway into the "Live With Regis & Kelly" studios, where Marino appeared as a guest and discussed his book "Big & Tall Chronicles". Regis weighed Marino and announced a 42-pound weight loss (since the kickoff of the walk) and Kelly measured his waist, which reflected a 10-inch difference.
The Million Calorie March reached over 70 million people overall through media appearances on FOX NEWS, ABC, People magazine, USA Today and over 150 radio stations nationally. (source: Rendon Public Relations).
