WHAT IF I WAS TO TELL YOU THAT 20 JUMBO JETS FULL OF CHILDREN WILL CRASH TODAY, & TOMORROW, & ON & ON...? Would you be concerned? THAT IS WHY WE RUN.

  • Some 6,000 children die every day from disease associated with lack of access to safe drinking water, inadequate sanitation and poor hygiene – equivalent to 20 jumbo jets crashing every day.
  • Water-related illnesses are the leading cause of human sickness and death
  • In the past 10 years, diarrhea has killed more children than all the people lost to armed conflict since World War II.
  • 1.1 billion people in the world do not have access to safe drinking water, roughly one-sixth of the world’s population.
  • PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING: $30 provides safe drinking water for 1 person for a life time! TO DONATE, just follow this link.

We run to bring hope, we run to bring water: www.blueplanetrun.org/

Impossible is not a fact; It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration; It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing. -Adidas

1.1 billion people thirst; 1/6th of the world thirst for safe drinking water. I am only one. I cannot do everything, but I will do something. I will run. I have a purpose. Let's run. Let's run around the Blue Planet. Let's run for water. Impossible is nothing.


The 2007 Blue Planet Run team
