Watch out lame ducks - this Duck is in serious training.



It is week four of Milo the Million Dollar Duck's annual Manhattan Migration to South Street Seaport for the 2006 Million Dollar Duck Race to benefit Special Olympics New York. He has until Thursday, September 14th to tour Manhattan, stop at some hot spots and pay a visit or two before joining over 25,000 of his little rubber duck friends for a race in the East River.

Milo is getting all pumped up for the big race. This week he could be found working out at Sweat the fitness center in the W New York Union Square. Where else could a hip, trendy celebrity like Milo go to get in some time on the exercise bike, elliptical machine and with the weights without causing too much of a stir? After his workout, Milo popped into UNDERBAR for a quick martini with the associates of the W New York Union Square who, along with many of their fellow Starwood Hotels & Resorts associates, have started a team and are adopting ducks to show their commitment to Special Olympics. It was an exhilarating, fun and glamorous stop in Milo's migration and he encourages you all to stop by a Starwood hotel or resort during your own migrations. He also wants to remind you that there are only two weeks left until the race... be sure to adopt your lucky duck(s) now while there are still ducks available!

Let us know if you spot Milo on the streets of New York, in a commercial on Time Warner Cable stations or if you see him in the Daily News and the Financial Times!

The 2006 Million Dollar Duck Race to benefit Special Olympics New York is sponsored by the New York Lottery, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Time Warner Cable, American Airlines, Daily News, Financial Times, WABC, Crunch Fitness, Blimpie and Enterprise Rent-A-Car.
