Hi my name is Max Lowe and I am 6 years old!

Some children around the world do not have clean water taps in their house, or even outside their house. Maybe not even in their whole village. Instead they have to walk 3 miles/5km (on average) to collect water from other places, like muddy or dried up streams. Then they have to carry the water all the way home. Now they can wash themselves, wash their food, cook and hydrate. Until the collected water runs out and they have to do that long water walk all over again.

Sometimes people can become ill drinking the dirty water they can collect. They also can’t go to school because they have to walk so far to collect water instead.

So my friends and I have decided to help! On the 24th March, we will walk 3 miles/5km (which is a long way for us because we're 5 and 6 years old!). We hope you will sponsor us to complete the challenge and help us raise a big pot of money that Charity Water can use to build fresh water taps or wells in villages, so other 6 year olds around the world can just concentrate on being kids!
