Reach Out Worldwide is an official non-profit disaster relief organization.

Reach Out Worldwide was co-founded by Paul Walker, who together with a team of professionally trained and skilled friends, descended into the aftermath of the monumental earthquake that devastated Haiti on January 12th, 2010.

When a disaster strikes, seconds can make the difference between life and death.

‘I am a doer, and whether it was the tsunami in Sri Lanka or the earthquake in Indonesia, I was always saying, I should be there; I should be helping out.’

On November 30th, 2013, at about 3:30 p.m. Paul Walker and Roger Rodas left an event for Walker’s charity Reach Out Worldwide for victims of Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda), with Rodas driving his Porsche Carrera GT.

In a 45 miles per hour speed zone on Hercules Street in Valencia, Santa Clarita, California, the car crashed into a concrete lamp post and two trees and caught fire.

Rodas died of multiple trauma while Walker died from the combined effects of trauma and burns. Both of their bodies were burned beyond recognition.

The curve where Walker and Rodas were killed is a popular spot for drifting cars. No alcohol or other drugs were found in either man’s system, and neither mechanical failure nor road conditions appeared to play a role.

Police found no evidence of drag racing. The investigation concluded that the car’s speed – between 80 mph and 93 mph and age of the tires were the primary reasons for the crash.
