Why Randy Abbott is fundraising for clean water

Many of us have no idea what its like to be thirsty. When we're thirsty we flip a handle or push a button. When we're dirty we twist a shower knob. When our garden needs watering, when our pasta needs to be boiled, and when we use the bathroom water's just there for the taking.
For a billion people on the planet it's not, millions of women and children have to walk hours each day to get water from muddy ponds and rivers. Much of the water is infested with parasites and leeches. In fact 80% of all diseases in the world are caused by unsafe drinking water and lack of sanitation.
Like many people I wonder what kind of planet we are leaving to our children, I've always wondered how to help and how much I could affect the world around us. When I learned that only $20 can give someone clean, safe water for two decades, I decided to help. My goal is to raise $1250 in the next three months to help build wells in developing nations.
I'm hoping that you will join me.
