Clean Water around the World w/ Clay Hess

Clay Hess stops by the show to talk about the nonprofit he works with in the off season - Wine to Water....

Show Notes

Clay Hess is a Wildland Firefighter in the summer, and in the off season, he travels and provides systems to make clean drinking water to communities effected by disaster and that do not have access to clean water...

Clay is a good dude, who is passionate about his work due to the fact that every 90sec a child 5 and under dies from a water related illness...

Clay states:

"There have been many "ripples" in my life and I believe that each one is responsible for my finding Wine To Water. When I'm not fighting fires as a Wildland Firefighter I'm committed to raising money to fight the world water crisis and traveling with Wine To Water to Nepal and the Dominican Republic to dig wells and build water pumps and filters. Wine To Water is an incredible organization that is committed to support life and dignity for all through the power of clean water. Clean water is powerful and life changing, not only for those helped, but for those who help. My life has been forever changed."

Im all about good causes, and paying it forward - Keep up the good work, Clay!
