Seeing I have been unable to get into fortunecity to update my site, I haven't put the news about Kevin running with the Olympic torch, so here are a few articles I have read, along with a few pics.
Backstreet Boy, Carries Olympic Torch

While fans usually carry a torch for
their favorite boy band member,
lately it's been the other way
around.
Kevin Richardson became the
second Backstreet Boy to run the
Olympic Torch Relay on Tuesday,
and 'NSYNC's Lance Bass also
joined in on the effort.
Richardson, promoting his Just
Within Reach environmental
foundation, carried the flame for
three blocks on Figueroa Street in
downtown Los Angeles.
Bass, chosen by relay organizers for
his work with 'NSYNC's Challenge
for the Children organization, which
benefits children's charities, ran
several blocks in Newport Beach,
California.
In December, Backstreet Boy Howie Dorough carried the torch in Florida
for his Dorough Lupus Foundation. His sister, Caroline Cochran, died of
the disease in 1998
The Olympic Torch Relay, an Olympic tradition since 1952, began on
November 19, when the torch was lit in Olympia, Greece. It will be
carried to the Winter Games in Salt Lake City, Utah, next month.
Richardson launched the Just Within Reach Foundation a year ago to
provide environmental education and promote personal responsibility
with regard to the health of the planet.
