Here's Your Chance to Star in a Commercial!

Is your name Serena - or do you know somebody named Serena - who has a passion for exercise and sports?

In '09, Gatorade's G2 low calorie sports drink will be unveiling its "Everyday Athlete" campaign to help change the way people understand what the word "athlete" means. As long as you get up and get moving, Gatorade considers YOU an athlete - - and together with tennis great Serena Williams, they are looking to Shape's readers to help bring that concept to life!

Gatorade and Serena Williams are holding a casting call for anybody who is named Serena to appear in this campaign. If interested in applying, simply tell us your story of what adversity, trial, difficulty, tragedy, ailment or set-back have you been able to cope with or overcome through exercise, sports and active living. Please include a photo along with your story and send to bellmartel@sbcglobal.net by Friday, February 6 at 5:00 pm Eastern. Please note in the subject line: G2 Shape Casting Call.

Gatorade will bring the five casting call finalists to LA the week of February 23 to meet with and share their story personally with The Gatorade Company and Serena Williams. The winner of the casting call will begin appearing in the national campaign with Serena this year and will have their story also documented on Shape.com!

To all the Serenas out there, send us your story and good luck!
