Thank you for helping me hit my stretch goal of $10k or 200 kids with water access!

I'm running with Team World Vision to help provide life-changing clean water to children and communities in the developing world. Did you know that there are 700 million people in the world without access to clean water? These unfortunate folks have to travel a round trip of 6 kilometers to get water from a questionable source back home. I tried to live that reality once, and it was awful. Please help me help others to never have to make that walk again.

Keep up with my training here

More than 800 children under age 5 die every day from diarrhea caused by contaminated water, poor sanitation, and improper hygiene. Without clean water, a child has a 50% chance of not making it to their 5th birthday. But we believe the global water and sanitation crisis can be solved within our lifetimes. 

$50 = clean water for 1 person

Will you invest in the future and provide clean water for 1, 2, 3, or even more people?

UPDATE: 9/24 through 10/13, I have a matching donor to help me get to $10,000 or 200 lives changed. Every $50 will mean water for 2!

This is my 3rd year running for this great cause. This year's Chicago marathon is October 13th! I'm also participating in one race per month, as a part of my commitment to change the world!

I got started with running pretty simply. I haven't had the easiest life, but I was going through a brutal season at work. I was developing a lot of pent up frustration, and when TWV came to my church, I felt called to be a part of something bigger than myself. I took the call, and have gone all in. Clean water is such a simple and solvable issue. Let's get this done.
