There is a solution! (And it starts with you)

(How corny is that?)

Seriously, though. Check out this website. http://blueplanetrun.org/. We are about to embark on a 15,200 mile journey around the world in order to raise awareness and funds for safe drinking water projects. Did you know that one out of every five people lacks access to safe drinking water? For just $30 you can provide safe drinking water for one person for life. That's a pretty small price to pay for such a huge, longterm benefit.

When I say "we," I literally mean "we." Me and several others at K___ are doing the public relations for the Blue Planet Run Foundation, meaning we drum up media interest in the Run and the cause both nationally and internationally. That is sort of giving you the bottom line, but essentially the gist of my role.

My role beginning June 1st, however, will be a more active one as I am actually going on the first two weeks of the Run! This means I'll be in Ireland, the UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands and Germany. Phew! I'll be attempting to update as much as possible during this trip, so please check back often. I have NO clue what I'm doing, so the events will literally be unfolding on the web! :)
