    posted an update to Michael's NYC Marathon for Clean Water! 
    about 2 years ago

    26.2 is a big number, but as it turns out, 19 is even bigger. Thanks to you all, 19 people in the world are forever changed. There will be a day in the very near future when they walk hours for water for the last time. A day when they instead, walk to school... spend time with family... start businesses. There's no telling how far the impact of your generosity will go, because the impact on those 19 people is exponential. Collectively, all of us who ran the NYC Marathon for charity: water have now raised enough for 1,823 people to get clean water. And the number is still growing! Having met people around the world who lack access to clean water, who go from sickness to sickness, who miss out on school and walk dangerous miles just to make it through the day... I can't say enough how grateful I am to you all for joining me on this mission. In the coming weeks, you should receive an update from charity: water outlining exactly where the funds went and what specific community is benefitting. With love and gratitude, - M
