Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.

From October 14, Andy, Henrique and I will attempt to cycle from Perth to Adelaide, a distance of 2691 kilometers. Most of this will be through harsh, dry desert landscapes, with water being one of our main challenges.

It would be amazing if you could support us by donating to this world-changing cause. Can we raise $1.00 for every kilometer we ride? Of course!! 269 people will have their lives changed, if not preserved.

We learnt about this organisation through this inspiring podcast episode, which we can't recommend highly enough: http://www.richroll.com/podcast/scott-harrison/

100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.
