Cousins Owen Moriarty & Harrison McWalter will cross Hood Canal for clean water.

Thanks for helping us help others!
This Labor Day, we'll spend the first half of our day peddling our hearts out - trying to achieve something that's never been done before - crossing the Hood Canal on a paddle boat. It's harder than you might think! But hey, our legs can take it (we hope).

We want to invite you to join us in our effort to fundraise for people in W Africa that do not have access to clean water. Every $25 you donate will provide a clean water solution to one person for the rest of their life! And if you donate soon, every dollar is being matched by a generous donor to charity: water.

Thank YOU!
Owen and Harrison

During the hotter part of the year, the average temperature in the Sahel region of West Africa is more than 110 degrees.

For women here, not having access to clean water means hours of painful and exhausting work. Many of them walk miles each day just to reach the 100-year-old hole in the ground where they collect water. And they make that trip four or five times. Not only is that water contaminated and dirt-colored, but it has to be pulled up by hand, one bucket at a time.

The homemade rope burns their hands; it causes bleeding and leaves callouses — even scars. And sometimes the rope breaks, causing women to fall into the wells.

But we can change all of that!

We can bring solar powered pumps into communities and pipe water to tap stands right next to these women’s homes. We can bring time, energy and a better future to thousands of people in Mali and Niger. Kids like us, adults and whole families.

Help us play a small part in changing lives -- donate to our campaign.

100% of everything we raise will directly fund water projects. And when those projects are finished, charity: water will send all of us proof in pictures and GPS coordinates, so we can see the actual people and communities we impacted.

Please help us spread the word. Together, we can create awesome change!
