My story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This season I'm putting action behind the words I've been writing and speaking for the past several months. To be precise, I'm training for and running Geneva's favorite and most well-known footrace - the Escalade - in order to raise funds and awareness for the one billion people (that's one in six of us human beings) on Earth who do not have access to clean drinking water. 

Charity: water is the nonprofit organization which will receive and utilize all the JustGiving funds I raise. Charity: water partners with at least ten reputable organizations (such as Living Water International, A Glimmer of Hope, and Action Against Hunger) who have had a longstanding presence in their target countries, and who are best equipped to engage their communities in the project of well-construction. One hundred percent (100%) of all money raised goes directly to fund materials and labor costs of the project, with organizational administrative costs being covered purely by private donors.  

To date, charity: water has provided life-changing access to fresh, clean water in more than 1,400 communities in developing countries, impacting the lives of nearly one million people. If you want to find out more about the incredible change that charity: water is helping effect, then visit their website at charitywater.org. You will be moved and, I hope, inspired to help expand and perpetuate the scope of their impact.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them to spammers or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to charity: water (and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer). This is a most efficient way to donate, as I raise more, while saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please sponsor me, and spread the word. Because even $20 can provide fresh, clean, life-saving drinking water to a child, man, or woman in Africa for the next twenty years. That's an entire generation - just think of the implications!

Race day is approaching. :) Let's stay engaged and passionate about our vision for this project; the impact will be real, and it will be powerful. Donation by Audrey Heald 27/11/09

Every little bit helps. Even $20 (£12.50) can provide fresh, pure water for someone for 20 years. That's quite a return on investment! Donation by Young Adults in Geneva 02/10/09
