'The 25,000 Mile Love Story' to Be Featured at LA Film Festival, 7/13

The 25,000 Mile Love Story documentary film is an Official Selection for the Downtown Los Angeles Film Festival this Saturday, July 13. This inspirational story won "Best Humanitarian Documentary Film" at the May 30-June 2 People's Film Festival in New York City. The film was also an Official Selection of the Riverside International Film Festival.

The 25,000 Mile Love Story chronicles the amazing journey of Serge and Nicole Roethelis' "Run for Kids World Tour." The thirty-five-country, six-continent Run for Kids World Tour had a dual purpose-to prove Serge's endurance and running ability, and to raise awareness of the plight of children in third-world countries. Serge ran the entire distance, while Nicole was at his side on her Yamaha 125 motorcycle. The 25,422-mile run circumnavigating the globe took 1,910 days, or an average of a marathon every other day for 63 months- the equivalent distance of 970 marathons.

John Davies, critically acclaimed producer and Emmy-nominated documentarian, commented: "This film is a love story, but not just in the normal sense. It depicts a couple in love, but the film also conveys Serge and Nicole's love for kids and those in poverty, their love of freedom, their love of adventure, their love of nature, and their love of athletic achievement. Amazingly, Serge and Nicole had no financial sponsor. They had no support team with them or back home-just the two of them 'against the world', so to speak." One of Serge's prominent philosophies is that "anything is possible if one is willing to pay the price", and this Run for Kids World Tour certainly reflected that mindset.

The Lil' Red Foundation, headquartered in North Kansas City, Missouri, sponsored the production of this inspirational film and three books published by Dunham Books-The 25,000 Mile Love Story, Nicole's Diary and Keep on Running.
