What started out as a group of friends traveling to exotic locales and their desire to help people struck by tragedy, Reach Out Worldwide (ROWW) was born. Founder, Paul Walker, created the organization in 2010 with the mission of providing relief to victims of natural disasters.

Two weeks after a fatal car accident, Paul Walker was laid to rest on December 15th, 2013 at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in a private ceremony with friends and family. Although Paul is no longer with us, his legacy will live on through ROWW as they continue to fulfill the unmet needs of disaster victims.

Reach Out Worldwide (ROWW) states on its website,

Natural Disasters don’t give us much warning. Our mission is simple, use our network of professionals with first responder skill-sets to fulfill the unmet need in times of chaos, tragedy, and destruction. Paving the way for long term disaster relief, leaving it better than when we got there. ~ ROWW

As a self-professed adrenaline junkie, Paul Walker was not as public about his charitable and philanthropic work with ROWW. Many people may be unaware that Paul was in the process of getting his First Responder Certification in order to be more field ready with the medical professionals on his disaster relief teams.

In a touching video recently released by ROWW, a tearful Paul Walker can be seen talking about meeting fathers holding their children asking for help to survive. As he recounts these experiences, you can see the deeply felt compassion and empathy for the hurting families they served.

If you are interested in helping  Reaching Out Worldwide continue their work, there are two ways that you can help support them. You can donate directly at www.roww.org/donate, and/or you can purchase a copy of the Fast and the Furious 6 where a portion of the proceeds will be donated to ROWW.

Paul was only a couple of months older than me, and I know that feeling of not being afraid of anything. Remembering when the first Fast and the Furious came out, I was living the fast and the furious lifestyle with a 92 Honda Prelude Si. After too many brushes with death, I got scared that I was running out of chances, and the reality of my mortality set in. The Fast and the Furious franchise will never be the same, and you will truly be missed. View this fitting tribute to the life and legacy of Paul Walker.
