I just wanted to draw attention to an organization called “Blue Planet Run“. One sixth of all the humans on Earth do not have access to clean drinking water and The BPR organization has organized a run around the world to raise awareness and resources. Out of the people chosen to participate, AFAR’s own DoronJazz has been selected and is now a part of the world wide running team. Congrats DoronJazz!!!
On top of that, AFAR did a song and video about water that will work as a “soundtrack†for the tour. It’ll be on iTunes soon and the video should also get some MTV air time. We’ll meet up with DoronJazz in Colorado in August to perform for an official BPR event. I’ll keep everyone posted on everything!!!
Holla!
Holla!

Hello! It is going pretty good. I am just making it though. The team I am on is great. The girls are awesome. The 2 girls on my team are elite runners and are faster then everyone except 3 guys. They run ten miles in 58-65 minutes so with the extra 30 minutes left from them me and the other guy have enough time to finish are part in. It usually takes me 80-88min to do ten miles and they want it done in 90 minutes. Its rough though with all the traveling and not eating but 2 times a day because everything closes in europe at about 7pm and the traveling. I just finished running the 1:30am shift and tonight I start running the 3am shift since no one on my team like running when its cold out except me. Other then that the time is going fast. I feel like I do nothing but run though and sit in a car. I wish I would hve brought more movies though since I have gone through all the ones i brought already. I bought all these books book it is hard to read out here with all this stuff going on. I am in Berlin tomorrow. They sent out a back up guy to run for people last week. They called him Tuesday, he quit his job Tuesday afternoon, Sub-letted his apartment wednedsday, flew out Thursday to Paris, got to Paris friday. Then he meet the team on saturday, ran his first time sunday. Then during his first run at mile 6 stepped off a curb and broke his ankle. They put him on a plane Monday and he got back to the states on Tuesday. We will see who makes it out here next.

[…] The organization Blue Planet Run (a race across the world to bring awareness to the state of the world’s drinking water) teamed up with AFAR to create the soundtrack for the run. AFAR keyboardist DoronJazz is a part of the relay team as well. Check out the video below and tell me what you think. […]
