goal
Lets get clean water for those in need! Help me finish this race strong!
I've been doing a 5k everyday for clean water since January 1st of this year. You can help by donating today (last day!), or forwarding this campaign to friends and family!
I would be amazed if I hit my goal of $50,000, but I would at least like to hit a campaign goal of 90 people reached with clean water! $375 more and we reach that goal! One person will get clean water for every 5k I ran!
Why Water?
Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!
But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, 1,400 kids die from water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday. 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.
I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me.
Please donate to my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help.
100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.
Let's change the world!
