844 million people — about 1 in 9 — lack access to safe water; 2.3 billion — about 1 in 3 — lack access to a toilet. Water.org is dedicated to changing this and you can help. Together, we can empower families around the world with access to small, affordable loans to make household water and sanitation solutions a reality. Every $60 donated will help provide one family in need with life-changing access to safe water or sanitation.
As avid cyclists and longtime friends, we recognize each pedal stroke as an opportunity to propel more than just ourselves. Kyle’s involvement with Water.org through his brother, Co-founder, Matt Damon presents a pairing we cannot ignore: our chronic dehydration in the saddle and the need for safe water in the developing world. We are proud to ride in support of a nonprofit we’ve come to know well over the years, inside and out.
Thus, on July 29th, we’ll be riding around the Quabbin Reservoir, the primary water supply for Boston, and one of the largest unfiltered water supplies in the United States – a fitting route. Join us and donate to change lives with safe water.
