Update: 4 Mile Walk for Water

Pin It While I write this blog post about 60 children will die from a water related illness.  Sixty Children.  It may not be something we want to think about, but it is something we cannot ignore.  Every 20 seconds a child dies from a water related illness.  While a few years ago this number was 15 seconds.  People and organizations like water.org are doing everything in their power to raise awareness and change this reality and you can help.


A little less than a month until the first annual 4 Mile Walk for Water and we have already raised $275 and are over 1/4 of the way to the goal of $1,000.  So far we have served 11 people, meaning we have provided 11 people with access to safe and clean drinking water for life.  We have let a child go to school for the day, a mother go to work, a father sleep at night knowing that he doesn't have to live with the fear that his children could get a severe illness or die from the dirty water they are drinking on a daily basis.  We have made a change.  Click here to learn more about the 4 Mile Walk for Water or make a donation.  Let's make more change.
Thanks to all of those who are already joining in the 4 Mile Walk for Water.  If you want to get involved, it's easy.  Just share the link to the fundraiser and help raise awareness on the water crisis.
