Why Matthew Baffuto is fundraising for clean water

Every step taken by you is one less a child needs to make in order to gain access to clean drinking water.

Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, 5,000 kids die from water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me.

Please donate to my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help. All are welcome to come to the run, but in order to be tracked and scored a minimum donation of $20 is suggested. The run will take place on March 22nd, 2014 at Martha-Emmons Weiham Memorial Park in Pelham, NY 10803. It will start at 8 am.

100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.
