46 year-old actress Teri Hatcher has posted swimsuit photos of herself on her Facebook page with a sign saying “Sophia this one’s for you”. The Desperate Housewives star is competing in the Malibu triathlon for charity this weekend, in order to raise money for a young patient at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. She became involved in this cause when the young girl’s father from Joel Rothman, contacted her through a letter. Sophia, 2, was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and another related disease that could have caused her to go blind.
Teri wrote:
“This is the charity benefiting from the coming Sunday’s Malibu Triathlon in which I am tackling the swim portion of a Tri- Team including myself, Mr. Bob Iger and Julie Bowen.’So after checking the water forecast, I now know that when I dive into the 60 degree shoreline at 7am for a purely adrenaline based swim, they’ll be one beautiful girl to reach stroke after stroke for. And that’s Sophia. Please tell your friends to donate. Even one dollar,” the actress added.
