Wallace to endorse Martial Arts fund-raising program for St. Jude

Retired undefeated world champion kick boxer, Bill "Superfoot" Wallace, demonstrated his skills and expertise for patients and families of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital as part of his new endorsement of the hospital's martial arts fund-raising program.

The martial arts expert toured the hospital, met with patients and signed autographs for the many wowed spectators.

"Just walking into the hospital gives you inspiration to help these kids," said Wallace. "Their martial arts fund-raising program is a great way to help kids develop their skills and give back to the community. If my endorsing the program helps raise more money, I'm all for it."

The St. Jude martial arts program was established in 1995. During the program, martial arts student and teachers help raise money for the hospital by finding sponsors and conducting a "kick-a-thon" for friends, family and community members.

Wallace continues to be a well-known martial arts figure and has written three books. He is a former member of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and has been active in the film industry. His film credits include A Force of One with Chuck Norris and Protector with Jackie Chan. He has also appeared on the Walker Texas Ranger TV series.
