By: Last Chance for Animals Past recipients of the "Vegan of the Year" award include Pamela Anderson, Alexandra Paul (Baywatch), and Phil Collen (Def Leppard). This year's gala will focus on LCA's efforts to support the rangers at Africa's Virunga National Park and its' critically endangered mountain gorilla population. Defending the park and its inhabitants from poachers, militants, and environmental exploitation is an on-going battle for Virunga's park rangers who risk their lives daily to protect part of the 900 mountain gorillas remaining in the wild. Freston, an author, wellness expert and vegan activist, skyrocketed to fame with four consecutive New York Times bestsellers: Freston's work promotes a body/mind/soul approach to health and happiness, and centers around a plant-based diet for physical, environmental, and ethical reasons. She believes in "leaning in" to change and cites the proven benefits of "progress, not perfection". A media favorite, she has appeared on Ellen, Dr. Oz, Good Morning America, Charlie Rose, and The Oprah Winfrey Show. Freston's work has been featured in Vanity Fair, Harper's Bazaar, Self, W, and Fitness Magazine. She's also a regular contributor to the Huffington Post. LCA's annual fundraiser is a star-studded event honoring notable animal activists and supporting over three decades of groundbreaking, undercover, investigations exposing animal abuse. The October 22 gala at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills will feature dinner, dancing, and live music.
