Ready to run for it? Nervous Kristen Stewart slips into neon jogging suit to deliver poignant speech at 12-12-12 concert

It might have been of her own making but Kristen Stewart has weathered quite the metaphorical storm this year.
So there must've been something cathartic about coming out onto the stage at Madison Square Garden to raise awareness of those who have suffered a battering from the actual elements.
The youngster, 22, was nervous but for one who usually wears her fame so uncomfortably, Kristen seemed to come alive when given a personal appearance with an altruistic purpose.

Sweet, short and poignant: Kristen Stewart wore a bright green short suit that looked great for jogging had she been booed offstage at the Madison Square Garden 12.12.12 concert on Wednesday night

As always, Stewart's outfit choice was eye-popping.
The Twilight actress opted for a neon short suit that looked better suited to the gym or perhaps making a run for it if the audience had decided to boo during the Cali girl's speech.

 

Kristen, who is LA born and bred, needn't have worried as Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden was nothing if not brimming with positivity... even towards West Coasters.
And Kristen, scared though she undoubtedly was, delivered a sweet, succinct and poignant speech.

A rare smile: Kristen breathed a smile of relief and cracked a grin as the audience responded to her speech

Her purpose was to try and put the scale of those affected by Superstorm Sandy into some kind of perspective.
She talked of the New Jersey town of Hoboken, and how almost half the town were badly affected.
Then Stewart said that there were 37 billion affected across New Jersey in total but pointed out that it's hard to put human faces to such numbers.

Charitable: Kristen spoke during the 12-12-12 benefit concert for victims of Superstorm Sandy

She was then cheered when she said: 'But then Jersey Strong is not measured in numbers.'
A smile of relief crept across the brunette's face as the warmth rippled across the famous venue and she handed over to a video of Jersey boy, Jon Bon Jovi, visiting the most devastated areas.
But Kristen must know her own rehabilitation, however much it pales in comparison to the devastation of Sandy, is equally underway.
