Blue Planet Ride 2014 - The Great Lakes Circle Tour

Blue Planet 2014 solo bike ride will take 100 days, over a distance of more than 7,000 miles, bringing my total to 36,000 miles for safe drinking water! This carbon neutral pedal powered adventure ride will start in Tucson, Arizona and travels north via El Paso, Texas to Chicago at which point it will circumnavigate all five Great Lakes around the United States and Canada.

Over the last five summers I have completed self supported solo adventure bike rides around the USA and Europe totaling more than 30,000 miles, to raise awareness and funds for sustainable water projects. You can find more information about my charity rides on my blogs and Facebook fan page Blue Planet Ride.
Blue Planet Network is an NGO with its mission to unlock the global capacity and creativity of individuals, philanthropies, businesses and expert water organizations to solve the global safe drinking water crisis. 

This year I am funding Blue Planet Network member Water for the Americas and their project in Los Gonzales, Guatemala benefiting 239 people. See the project details on Blue Planet Network here
I hope you will support this important charity ride and give if you can. Together we can solve this humanitarian crisis in our lifetime. Feel free to forward this message and fundraising link to your workplace, friends and family.

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts. It makes the miles a lot less bumpy knowing that you care and feel the need to be part of the solution and help solve the water crisis. Sincerely, Rudy Van Prooyen
