VSP is a huge a fan of Ultra Marathon Man, Dean Karnazes. He has been a good friend to us, most recently coming to visit our headquarters when VSP was honored by the California Task Force on Youth Workplace Wellness with a 2009 Fit Business Award for our wellness program. Dean spoke about VSP’s commitment to promoting the positive connection between employee health and the return on investment of corporate wellness programs.

Dean is partnering with LIVE! with Regis and Kelly to run across the United States to benefit Action for Healthy Kids.  We are going to follow him on his journey (he starts today!) and we ask you to join us! At every other stop, we’ll give away a VSP Backpack signed by Dean to a lucky Facebook friend so be sure to “like” us on Facebook to track of his journey and have an opportunity to win!
