- 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.

- One of the 20 runners on the Blue Planete Run global team, running around the world June 1-September 4, 2007, raising awareness and funding for access to safe drinking water, which 1.1 billion people don't have. I was born in beautiful Prague in the Czech Republic, where I lived until I was 18. I originally came to the U.S. for one year... and now it's been over eleven years. I currently work at Whittier College in Whittier, California. One of the wisdoms I try to follow in my life is: "Do not speak of what you cannot praise."

Hi David!
I'm sorry I haven't posted to you lately! How exciting that you received so much press in your home country! Were you able to run with the mayor?
I miss you tons and can't wait to talk to you (and then see you)!
I am so glad that you seem to be doing well and continuing to make such a differece. I am proud of you and grateful you are my friend.
Miss you,
Stephanie
Hello Stephanie!
Great hearing from you. Unfortunately, the mayor did not end up running with me, but that's okay, we still got a lot of press coverage for Water.
Yes, things are good. It's getting a little harder, but nothing I can't handle.
