Reebok is launching a cool new campaign. In a new video we see renowned street style photographer and avid runner Adam Katz Sinding share his views on balancing work and running.

Adam is the first of four partners in Reebok’s new Fusion series, which pays tribute to the brand’s newly released Fusion Flexweave sneaker by profiling individuals who fuse their passion for fitness with their art. For Adam, his dual passions of running and photography have helped shaped who he is today and allow him to stay grounded in a life constantly on the road.

This past week Crown Royal and Verizon IndyCar Series drivers Alexander Rossi and Marco Andretti announced that they are challenging race fans to honor a record number of military heroes by Memorial Day weekend.

For the second year in a row, Crown Royal is building the Wall of Gratitude to inspire exceptional generosity where consumers 21+ can submit the names of their military hero to be engraved on gold plaques that are placed on the wall as a small token of appreciation for their service.

The goal is to collect 31,680 names, each to be engraved on a five-inch plaque, which will equal the length of one complete lap around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. http://slots33.com
