Why Abby Vickers is fundraising for clean water

At the end of September I'll be taking on Berlin Marathon 🇩🇪 which makes me feel partial excitement and pure fear - but one day I'll have to say no to challenges like this so embracing it and seeing what I've got in the locker. 💪🏻 I'm a total lockdown convert to running and pre 2020 didn't even own trainers, meaning my family are verging on slightly horrified that i'm doing this! (Don't worry mum i'll look after my knees 💕)
Despite quietly dying on the inside that this page is going to mean so many people will know i'm running... I'd be beyond grateful for any spare pennies you'd have to get me to the finish. 🏆👊🏻❤️‍🔥

Why Charity Water? 💧🚰
I'm running for a legendary charity (charity:water) who are one of the most radically transparent charities when it comes to their giving model. They promise 100% of public donations go directly to fund clean water projects. Philanthropists and Gift Aid cover their operating costs. So there is zero doubt that any £ given in this campaign will be going straight to their projects directly.
771 million people lack basic access to clean and safe drinking water. Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world. Charity: water are on a mission to give every human being access to clean drinking water - one project at a time.
