For his 100th marathon, Todd Falker wanted to do something special to give back to others by fund-raising for fresh water. From Todd: growing up in Michigan, I was surrounded by water, but many parts of world cannot take fresh water for granted. To raise awareness, I’m running 225 mile from shore-to-shore non-stop, & asking you to join the cause by donating to water.org that will go to other parts of the world, and also to support this cause by limiting your showers to 5 minutes a day, for one week.
Every $25 donated will help provide one family in need with life-changing access to safe water or sanitation, and Karlene and I are making limited edition T-shirts which will go to the top 25 donators. The total amount donated will go to supporting access to safe water and sanitation.
Thanks for donating to a good cause! Together let’s make a change in the world and in our own lives and communities. More info about my run can be found IG@toddfalker.
