goal
On Saturday, September 11th, I'm going to running in the GEICO Race for Freedom 5k competitive race in Oklahoma City, OK (raceforfreedom.org).
That's 3.1 miles of sweating, pushing, giving everything I've got.
Sounds rough, right? Well imagine doing all of that without clean water.
Every week, millions of women and their children walk more than 14 miles just to get water for their families. Most of this water is contaminated, but it's the only water they have. They take the chance of catching diseases like bilharzia and schistosomiasis (parasites) - with every sip. There's nothing they can do to change it.
So, what can I do?
My mission is to run a 5k and raise $500 for water. I want every step to matter. I'm asking for donations of $5 or more to help achieve my goal.
Because of charity: water's unique model, 100% of all donations go directly to water projects, and each donation is "proved" when projects are complete. I aim to raise $500 by the end of September.
I hope you'll join me in helping them now.
