My Story…
50KM Trail Run for Water – My Journey & Why It Matters
I started running as a way to improve my health, but along the way, I found something even more meaningful—a community. The running community has given me motivation, support, and a shared purpose that goes beyond personal goals.
Now, I’m taking on a 50KM trail run, not just for the challenge but to make a difference. This run is in support of clean water initiatives in communities across Africa, where access to safe water can transform lives. Every step I take is for those who walk miles every day just to reach a water source.
If you’re able to contribute, no matter the amount, your donation will go directly toward providing sustainable clean water solutions. Together, we can create real change—one step, one donation at a time.
Thank you for your support!
Description
Join Me in Bringing Clean Water to Merawi, Ethiopia!
This year, Run For Water has set a goal to raise $300K to address the critical water shortage in Merawi, Ethiopia. Right now, 77,237 people in Merawi still lack access to clean, safe water, relying on unsafe sources that jeopardize their health.
With your support, we can help the Merawi community install solar-powered water pumps and rehabilitate existing wells, increasing access to reliable water. These improvements will drastically shorten the journey for many—from 52 minutes to just 10 minutes—bringing life-changing benefits to thousands, especially women and children.
I’m committed to this cause, and I need your help. Will you join me in supporting this project and help bring lasting change to Merawi?
