The state of the internet allows great causes like this to happen. Today with all the connections being made we’ve got the power to impact people’s lives, for the better, from across the globe. Without all the new friends, fans, and supporters behind Wheelie For Water this endeavor would just be one guy riding wheelies, crazy enough to believe he (we) can change the world. Please help us support the clean water cause. #wheelieforwater
