My Story…

Help Access to Clean Water!


I’ve been jogging on Vancouver’s north shore trails for a dozen years, when I discovered this beautiful 25km runforwater.ca/trail. It’s over top Sumas Mountain near Abbotsford, and is also an important fundraiser


As Canadians we are so fortunate to never think about water access, only a tap away. Just imagine having to spend half the time this 25km takes to run, just to get your water. So I “Run for Water”.


It only takes $8 to provide close clean water to one more person in Ethiopia. Please help me surpass my goal to help dozens of families!! Thanks

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?
