Why John is fundraising for clean water

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.

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me.

Please donate to my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help.

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.

    Finished the 2nd day from bridge of orchy to ardlui (21 miles) in just under 6 hours. Beautiful scenery and sunshine! We finished at the Brewers Alms, which had an excellent specimen of a stuffed haggis on display - very rare variety with all its legs the same length.

    Finished the first day of the walk. I have various blisters and black toenails, it was raining for most of the afternoon but the views were amazing. We made good time at 7.5 hours including a half hour stop for lunch
