Why Chris Rich is fundraising for clean water

In three months, 70+ people are going to form their own Village a carry hundreds of gallons of water at The Peachtree Road Race on July 4th!

That's 6.2 miles of simulating what HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of women and children do each and everyday!

Sounds rough, right? Well, imagine doing it without clean water.

If you'd like to walk with us and carry water on the 4th, it is not to late! Please email wewillnotstop2012@yahoo.com for more info!

Every week, millions of women and their children walk more than 14 miles just to get water for their families. Most of this water is contaminated, but it's the only water they have. They take the chance of contracting deadly diarrheal diseases with every sip. There's nothing they can do to change this.

So, what can I do?

Our mission is to raise $10,000 for water. We want every step to matter. We're asking for pledges per foot, per mile or flat out donations to help us achieve our goal.

The best part: 100% of everything we raise will go straight to building water projects in the field. Then, when the projects are complete, charity: water will show us just where they are and who they're helping (with GPS coordinates, photos and other details). We'll be able to see the communities we've impacted.

I hope you'll walk alongside us by donating to our campaign!
