Running for Water (running 10k per dollar)

Every 90 seconds a child dies from a water-related disease, and diarrhea remains one of the leading causes of death for children under the age of five worldwide. The problem is enormous but solutions are available. Kids with access to safe water are healthier and can attend school regularly.

For this fundraiser there are currently $20,000 in matching funds up for grabs. The water crisis is something I feel we can help solve together, and now we can take advantage of this match to do twice the good.

For every $25 that you contribute to my fundraiser before November 30th, Water.org will receive an additional $25, and can give two people access to safe water. 

Water.org has been helping people develop sustainable solutions for more than 20 years. Together, we can change lives with safe water.

To stimulate you in donating, I vow to run 10 kilometers for each dollar donated in this fundraiser. I'm not a particularly good runner, so this is a win-win-win situation! More people get access to safe water, I get some workout and you can watch me suffer! :)

Donations so far: - Odette Van Laer: 11$ cash - Natacha Van de Cauter: 25$ cash

I better start running :)
