Ok, call me whatever but it is not time for me to end the run. I mentioned earlier that even though we finished, for the time being, the run around the world, we actually are just beginning. It is a life-time commitment for me. The water crisis is but a part of the big picture... that is, yes, continuance of working to help those in need of safe drinking water but to also be constantly engaged in cleaning up the mess we have made in regards to our environment. "We are the solution".

So, I will continue promoting BPR's mission and other environmental concerns, running solo from N.C. southward to Florida then head west to eventually end in Washington State.
I will spend 2-3 days in towns and cities along my route, meeting with teachers and students, civic groups, environmental groups, senior citizen groups, city and county councils, Chambers of Commerce, University Extension Agencies, youth groups, on and on. Why? To talk about BPR, to listen to what communities are doing related to water quality issues, littering and pollution problems, and to share what I and others have done in regard to working together to solve environmental issues.

I am just one among many "global messengers". You have seen and read about the other amazing 20 and of course, the guru, Jin Zidell and his vision for BPR and others.
I am working hard at getting in touch with all the above mentioned so that these communities I run to and through know well in advance I am coming and why and to know I look forward to meeting with them to hear about their successes relating to taking care of our environment, especially what our youth are doing in regards to rolling up the sleeves and not being afraid to get in the mud and muck to make a difference. We owe this to ourselves and to future generations.

I look forward to sharing with you the upcoming solo run, the details of where I am at, who I am meeting with, their stories, and how the BPR effort globally is going. Stay tuned.

As usual, peace and blessings and thanks for your e-mails.

Remember too, you can donate anytime to the BPR. Just go on-line to see how.
