Why Alison & Andy Kangas is fundraising for clean water

$30 for 30 miles ran on HWY 30...

In the Spring of 2018, Alison Kangas and Katrina Sharp will run from St. Helens, Oregon to the Portland, Oregon water Bureau, 30 miles. We want you to join us by donating $30, enough money to provide 1 person clean drinking water for life!

We got inspired to start this project after listening to Scott Harrison, founder of Charity Water speak at North Point Community Church. We love running but got tired of the sport being all about us and got inspired to use something we love to give to those in need. You can watch the inspiring talk here: http://northpoint.org/messages/voices/keeping-up-appearances/

Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.

We started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and we are looking for anyone who can help.

Please donate to the campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help. $30 provides clean water for 1 person.

100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.
