I have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bicycle across America to raise funds and awareness for Blood:Water Mission, an organization that helps underdeveloped communities in Africa build clean-water wells, latrines and health clinics. We will be stopping in communities and churches to talk about the water and blood crises in Africa and enlist people in active support of Blood:Water Mission.
Blood:Water Mission is a grassroots organization that empowers communities to work together against the HIV/AIDS and water crisis. Its core purpose is to build community through creative social action. The Ride:Well Tour supports Blood: Water’s 1000 Well Project, an initiative to provide clean water and sanitation to 1000 communities in sub-Saharan Africa based on the equation that $1 provides an African with clean water for an entire year.
The Ride:Well Tour is scheduled for June 11-August 10 and will cover over 3,000 miles from LA to DC. More information about Blood:Water Mission and the Ride:Well Tour may be found online at www.ridewelltour.org. You will be able to find my Cyclist Profile page and follow my progress during the tour. I will be writing and posting photographs throughout the ride.
