Anthony Edwards is one of the Hollywood celebs running in Sunday's NY Marathon and the former ER star is doing it for a cause that's near-and-dear to his heart.

Edwards is leading a fund-raising team for shoe4africa with the goal of raising enough money to build the first public children's hospital in Kenya.

Edwards has a long history with the group, and last year even donated his entire $125,000 salary for the final episode of ER to its efforts.
