GNC customers donate more than $300K in support of 'Amazing Race' star

PITTSBURGH During the first month of Phil Keoghan’s 40-day bike ride across the United States, GNC customers have donated more than $300,000 to the National MS Society and its Bike MS program in support of Keoghan’s new Ride Across America Presented by GNC, which kicked off in Los Angeles on March 28 and will end May 9 in New York, the day before the finale of his Emmy Award-winning show The Amazing Race 14.

GNC is the main sponsor of Keoghan's 100-mile-a-day ride, which he says is one of the most physical and grueling challenges he's ever taken.

“All of us at GNC are thrilled with the response of GNC's loyal customers to [Keoghan’s] commitment to this important cause,” stated Tom Dowd, EVP stores, operations and development for GNC. “What [Keoghan] is proving every day on his ride is that individuals can make a difference in their lives and in their communities when they ‘Live Well.’”
