You read that right! I am embarking on a FAT CHICK MARATHON CHALLENGE!
One of my few fat-chick-non-believers out there challenged me to enter, compete and finish the LA Marathon being held Sunday, March 21, 2010. This challenge was sweetened when they placed a $500 bet on the table, to be donated to the charity of my choice upon completion of the 26.2 mile marathon through the streets of Los Angeles.
Now as you may know, I am not one to back down from any challenge! Even if it seems completely impractical being that I stand 5 feet 9 inches tall, weigh 260 pounds and haven’t walked an entire mile since I wore a Catholic School uniform and I walked home from school! I am stubborn, hardheaded, and more importantly I am determined to finish this year’s LA Marathon!
So beginning Feb 1st, I will be documenting my path to MARATHON GREATNESS in a Documentary Style Reality Webseries! The webseries will not only include daily video blogs, weekly weigh ins, work out sessions, but also follow me through my real life and daily routines: photoshoots, red carpets, in studio radio sessions and all that jazz!
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE A PART OF THIS PROJECT: maybe you own/promote a club, restaurant, storefront, clothing line and would like the exposure that a viral documetary webseries can provide to your business, PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP! I will also need locations, clubs, restaurants, any place in the LA area that are available to use in the documentary!
ALSO, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPONSOR ME: CONTACT ME ASAP!

About Vanessa Reece

You've reached the website of Vanessa Reece. Lucky You!
I'm best known for being a voluptuous model. Other creative pursuits include acting, reporting, life-blogging plus much more. I've also worked in business and healthcare.
It's hard to know what to say about yourself without coming across as some narcissistic
moron. That said; you need some degree of ego to rise above and reach your dreams. I like to balance life by go-getting and get-giving. I am always humbled by the love and support I receive online and in person. I support my friends projects too so you will often find me talking about them here.
I love travelling and find I seem to gravitate to California quite a bit.
I return to entertainment in the summer!
I am a single mother to an amazing young man who I can only describe as my true saviour in this life. An amazing gift from God.
Thank you for visiting!
Good Karmaz and enjoy your time here.

God bless her if she finishes it. Even though I run around like an energizer bunny all day I think 26 miles would finish me off. But if it raises money for Haiti fair play to her.
