On June 14, 2015, I will do a century+ (108 miles) bicycle ride circling the Potomac river hitting VA, MD, and DC covering as many landmarks as possible to raise awareness and funds for the good work Water.Org does. Won't you join me?
Please consider a donation here and contact me via the contact page on www.volunthropy.org if you wish to join me on this ride or participate in my other charity rides.
Around the world, 780 million men, women and children need access to safe water. Every minute a child dies from a water-related disease, and diarrhea remains the fourth leading cause of death of children under the age of five worldwide.
Imagine if you had to walk a few miles instead of a few feet for a glass of water. This is the reality for millions of women and girls. Collectively, women spend more than 182 million hours every day walking and collecting water for domestic use.
Lack of access to safe water negatively impacts health, keeps children from attending school, and traps millions of people in a cycle of poverty.
The problem is enormous but solutions are available.
For every $25 raised, Water.org can give someone access to safe water. Co-founded by Matt Damon and Gary White, Water.org has been helping people develop sustainable solutions for more than 20 years. Together, we can change lives with safe water.
Thank you very much for your support.
Best,
Mehrdad
