GOOD Magazine’s Water Issue–A MUST Read!

Joe Mohr — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 16:21:00 +0000

I once called Blue Planet Run a “must read“, and it is (so read it!). However, GOOD’s latest water issue* is easier to take with you, covers some new topics, and well, some people just prefer magazines.

I’m not sure if magazines can be called ‘must reads’–but if so, then this issue is (so read it!).

*The on-line edition does not have the content in its entirety, so consider buying the hard copy as well.

Blue Planet Run Empowers Athletes To Make Miles Matter For 1,200 Tanzanian Students

Blue Planet Run — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 02:50:08 +0000

For the entire month of October, Blue Planet Run is hosting a nationwide 30-mile challenge. Athletes can run, walk or cycle anywhere, anytime. So far, over 150 events have sprung up across the country to support the effort to provide safe drinking water to three schools in Tanzania that serve 1,200 students and their families.

It’s not too late to register. You can join a team, form a team or go solo. Cover the miles however you’d like! http://www.blueplanetrun.org/30-mile

One of the Tanzanian schools sent out a message that the 30-Mile Challenge participants can read before they start their 30-mile run, walk or cycling. Blue Planet Run is working to build communication bridges between the athletes and the communities that benefit from their efforts.
