In three months, I'm going to run the Detroit Half Marathon to raise $1000 towards a Clean Water Project for a village in Rwanda.

That's 13.1 miles of sweating, pushing, and giving everything I've got to this important project.

Sounds rough, right? Well, imagine doing all of that without clean water.

Every day in Rwanda, women and children walk for hours, up and down mountains, just to collect water from rivers--water that can make them really sick.

I'm going to raise $1000 to change that.

I want every step to matter, and every donation counts. So I'm asking for pledges per foot, per mile or up-front donations to help achieve my goal.

The best part: 100% of everything we raise will directly fund water projects in Rwanda. And when those projects are finished, charity: water will send us pictures and GPS coordinates so we can see the people and communities we helped.

My running this half marathon can make a difference, but I need you on my team!

Would you help me get closer to achieving my vision of a world where EVERY child has access to clean, drinking water? I know I can count on you!
