24 Hours To Give Clean Water
Fundraising Goal: $1200
Hello everyone my name is Gab and as the name suggests, I can’t run unless I’m talking the entire time. As a send off to my final year in my 20s my first goal is 30 miles but I would love to crush 50 this year as it might be my last race.
My personal goal is to be able to walk the next day without groaning. In all seriousness, there have only been two things that make my mind quiet and gives me peace, one is nature and two is running.
From this I’ve fallen in love with trail running and I’ve been blessed enough to run Bryce Canyon, Peter’s Canyon, and many more beautiful trails.
Why Water?
Roughly, 1 billion people in the world lack access to clean drinking water. Every day, they will wake up and ask themselves, “Where am I getting water from today?” Usually, their only option is small hand-dug wells scattered throughout the community often shared with animals. Children will walk anywhere from 1-3 miles to collect this water that has different diseases that can make someone sick, especially a child.
This is where your help comes in. To create a closer solution of clean water. Help us reach our $1200 donation goal.
