The 46-year old ‘Baywatch' star, who will be running in the ING New York City Marathon in November, said "I like to do things that people think maybe I can't do, and this is definitely one of those things", the New York Daily News reported.

The Canadian-American actress has volunteered for the run to raise USD 500,000 on Crowdrise for Sean Penn's J/P Haitian Relief Organization, which provides victims of the country's 2010 earthquake with new homes, health care and schooling.

The former showgirl has been building her stamina all summer on elliptical and Stairmaster machines, doing ab work and lifting 5-pound weights at home.
