Why I'm walking, running and struttin' for water this October!

It's absurd that roughly 703 million people in the world – (~10%) – do not have access to potable or even clean water near their home, let alone from a tap in their house.

Imagine having to trek hundreds of metres, kilometres even every day just to fill up your bottle. It's what thousands of women and children do to collect and carry water for their families. Many often begin collecting water as children and girls continue to collect and carry water throughout their lives. Many girls spend hours each day collecting water, which leads to a lost education. And not only that, sometimes the only water within reach is contaminated, carrying water borne diseases and leading to sickness in their community.

This is why we need your help – we are asking you to walk for water, so that they don’t have to.

By walking, running or riding for five days, you can raise awareness and funds so people around the world can access clean water for the first time.

Please donate to my fundraising page to contribute to WaterAid's amazing work. For just $50, WaterAid could buy water system tools to provide a rural community with clean water, but anything counts (even just $5!)

The more people that know about WaterAid, the greater our impact.

Please spread the word by sharing my fundraising page with your friends and family. If you can spare something I really appreciate it!
