Why Africa Bound Kingston-Radziwon is fundraising for clean water

Our families are in the process of adopting from Ethiopia, and we couldn't be MORE excited! Trevor and Melissa will be adopting a little girl. Ryan and Melanie will be adopting a baby boy. The journey has opened our eyes to all the luxuries we often take for granted, like water. Please help us raise money to build a well and bring something so simple that will literally save lives. If $5 is all you can give, THANK YOU! ANY amount will help! We'll be running the Phoenix PF Chang's Marathon in January in YOUR honor, and to help raise money!

Here are a few shocking facts:

1.) Over 1.5 billion people do not have access to clean, safe water.
2.) Nearly 4 million people die each year from water related diseases.
3.) Unsafe water is the biggest killer of children under five; around 90% of all diarrheal deaths are in this age group.
4.) Children often walk miles every day to collect dirty water to drink.
5.) A child dies every 15 seconds from a lack of clean water.
