How To Take Part In Team Blue's Epic Summer Journeys

This summer, several Team Blue athletes are leading the way with epic adventures geared toward raising awareness and funds to battle the safe drinking water crisis. We are expanding Team Blue to include the entire Blue Planet Run community, and that means you! You do not have to be an athlete, and there are many ways for you to join in the excitement to make a difference in the world.

	SF Marathon: 70 "Run For Water" athletes ran the San Francisco Marathon, July 26. They raised $25,000 for Project Well to help villages in India suffering from arsenic contamination & for BPR's education program. Congrats to everyone for their amazing effort. Story & Photos >> ABC News Story >>

	Rudy's Tour de Water: 2,500 miles solo on a bike! Rudy, one of our 2007 global relay runners, set off July 28 to ride from San Francisco to Montreal...alone! This is serious business and he needs all of us to the global water crisis. Check out his itinerary and blog. Rudy hopes to raise $20,000. We have a donor who has offered an incredible $10,000 matching donation!
Help Rudy reach his destination safely while spreading the word about water. Tell as many people as you can. Post on Facebook, Twitter, etc. Rudy needs help finding people for rides, meals, safe places to store his bike and gear, places to camp, shower or get on-line. And of course you can help Rudy reach his goal. Donate Now! >>
