Why Virginia Flynn is fundraising for clean water

I'm 35 this year.

35 years old, and I am so lucky. I have everything I could want or need in life. I spend my days running, playing with my kids, and pretty much, taking life for granted.

And then a (illusive) friend of mine brought something to my attention - millions of people don't live to see their 5th birthday. Why? Because they didn't have access to clean, safe water.

I have 249 facebook friends and 158 blog followers. Assuming that some of them over lap, I realized that if my friends and followers donated only $5 to GBA GF’s 35th Birthday Campaign, we could bring drinking water to 75 people.

I cannot count the number of times I have handed a paper cup filled with water to a runner.

I can’t hand everyone water though. Because my arms aren’t that long.

Help me provide a “water stop” for folks who don’t have access to clean water.

A unique and important cause though not often thought about. We are so fortunate to always have water at our disposal. Thank you Ginny for making this effort to help those that don't.
