Why Jenni Eicher is fundraising for clean water

For the last few years, running has always become a hobby for me. I love how I feel once I've completed a distance run.
While I participated in RAGNARI this summer, I have never run 13 at once. I look forward to my new goal.

I will be running the China Coast 1/2 marathon in Hong Kong on January 16th. The fundraising date ends before the race as I want to have it all completed by the time I hit the ground running.

More importantly, this money raised will go to help them begin drilling for new wells in different locations around the world. Since they only do this 4 times a year, I didn't want to wait to see our fundraising go directly into use!

I chose this campaign simply because water is our most basic necessity. We can easily take our clean water for granted. I know I do. Even living in Hong Kong and having to use only bottled water, I feel incredibly blessed. At least I have an alternative to the filthy water around me. So many others do not!

Thanks in advance for your generous donations and giving! Together we can make a difference and bring clean drinking water to those in need.
