Thirsty?

So our next ride is in motion. There are six riders taking a trip up to Lake Malawi from the 13th Dec 2009- 3rd Jan 2010. Lifestraw are very keen to have us partner with them for the trip- as sort of an advance team for their trip later in 2010.

"Half of the world's poor suffer from waterborne disease, and nearly 6,000 people - mainly children - die from diseases contracted from unsafe drinking water every day.

LifeStraw® water purifiers have been developed as a practical way of preventing disease and saving lives, as well as achieving the Millennium Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe water by the year 2015.

LifeStraw® and LifeStraw® Family are complimentary point-of-use water filters - truly unique offerings from Vestergaard Frandsen that will help people obtain safe drinking water at home and outside - paving the way to accomplishing the MDGs."

The trip itself will be approximately 5000km taking us approximately 22 days. Check out the route- feel free to contribute any advice/ comments on the route!

Sho! Its all very exciting! The word on the street is that we do have a confirmed support vehicle! Woohoo
