The Blue Planet Run was a relay run around the world organized by Blue Planet Network, an NGO with a mission to raise awareness and money to unlock the global capacity and creativity of individuals, philanthropies, businesses and water organizations to solve the global water crisis.
The inaugural Blue Planet Run around the world kicked-off on June 1, 2007 when a group of twenty runners from all walks of life began their ninety-five day journey in support of this most important initiative. I was one of those runners.
After the Blue Planet Run I have continued my own carbon neutral Blue Planet Ride events, to support the NGO's mission to provide safe drinking water to 200 million people in rural communities of developing nations within the next twenty years. You can follow me on my Blue Planet Ride website where I blog about my self supported charity bike rides around America and Europe to create awareness to solve this humanitarian crisis!

Hee Rudy!!
Ik heb je net gehoord op Radio 2! Dat klonk super! Wij zijn al grote fan van je, en mijn vriendin Mariëlle die bij Ontbijtradio werkt, ook! Ze moest wel erg lachen toen ik haar vertelde dat jij mijn Amerikaanse oom bent, hihihi.
Zet hem op met het rennen!!!
kussies, Barbara
Ha Rudy,
Kun jij per omgaande contact opnemen met het Leidsch Dagblad? Wij zijn zeer geïnteresseerd in de lotgevallen van een oud-regiogenoot.
Vriendelijke groeten

Hi Rudy!
Lynn and I saw Anne, Malka, and Chaim this past Friday night at Emanu-El. Talked about you and where you were at that moment.
You are bringing the message in a unique way all over the world.
Be safe, and we'll try to keep track of you.

Hello Rudy:
I have read all of the updates on the Blueplanetrun.org site and as I expected you are making a difference already, even the commentators are saying that the runners have adopted "The Rudy" when passing the baton. I hope you are well, holding up, and in good spirits. I think of you often and wish you Godspeed!

Hoi Rudy! Ik las net op de Akzo site dat je een blessure hebt opgelopen en ook nog eens een 'stomach bug' - ik hoop dat je vandaag de finish heb mogen halen in NYC! Het klinkt fantastisch allemaal! Dat je hier aan mee hebt mogen werken - echt gaaf, en knap!
Ik wacht de volgende/laatste update af! Groeten uit Amsterdam.
