When I saw that Alicia Keys was part of United Relay of America, I was excited immediately! You can win a chance to meet Alicia Keys in New York City! Omg! Alicia Keys is my favorite singer and I would love to meet her.

Check out the video to see why Alicia Keys is part of United Relay! She caught the running bug after running the New York City Marathon! I don’t blame her at all!
