Fruit2O is partnering with 23 year-old Katie Visco in her attempt to become the youngest female runner to cross America. Visco, who begins her 3,200-mile journey from Boston to San Diego on March 29, will stop and visit at schools in major cities, including New Haven, New York, Cleveland, Chicago, Iowa City, Albuquerque and Phoenix.

Along the way, the runner and Fruit2O will work to raise awareness and funds for Girls on the Run, a national charity focused on helping young women gain self-esteem and confidence through after-school running programs.

The brand will of course be providing Visco with ample bottles of its fruit-flavored water during the cross-country run.
