Not every musician is willing to take the stage before Noon. But for a good cause, Live Earth supporters will go a long way.

The Dow Live Earth Run for Water began more than 12 hours ago, shortly after daybreak on the New Zealand side of the International Date Line.

6K run/walks and live performances have taken place in more than one hundred cities, from Melbourne to Bali to Singapore to Amsterdam and Berlin (Watch the real-time photo slideshow). 6km is symbolic because it is the average distance many women and children must walk each day to attain clean water.

But you don't have to wake up at dawn and do a 6K to support Live Earth and help solve the global water crisis.

You can sleep in a little bit and catch the post-run/walk celebrations, complete with live performances and tour the Water Village.

John Legend and Questo of the Roots (performing in Prospect Park in Brooklyn along with Common) and Rob Thomas (performing in Atlanta) took to Twitter to literally wake up their fans today. Will you take part?
