Yarra Valley Water

Walk For Water 2024

Why we're walking, running & riding for water this October.

703 million people in the world – almost one in ten – do not have clean water close to home. Every day, women and children walk long distances to collect and carry water for their families. Girls and boys 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 can cause them to miss time at school. And not only that, sometimes the water they are forced to collect is dirty, 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.

The more people that know about WaterAid, the more we can achieve together.

Please spread the word by sharing my fundraising page with your friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!

Aragwave Legolake

To Charisse - Whisperine of the Waves and the brave Aquavengers: Fellowship of the Springs, As one who has walked many paths and crossed many streams, I know well the power of water and the responsibility we hold to protect it. It is not only a force of nature but a life-giving gift. You walk now not for yourselves, but for those who, like the villagers of Middle-earth, thirst for what is rightfully theirs—clean water. Your journey, though not to Mordor, is equally important. May your steps bring forth rivers of change and fountains of hope to those in need. Know that with every stride, you carry the strength of the tides and the swiftness of the rivers within you. Let this gift be a small token in your grand quest to restore the balance and bring water to all corners of the world. May the water flow freely where it is needed most. Onward, heroes of the Fellowship! – Aragwave Legolake
