Why Michelle coulson is fundraising for clean water

On 13th March I'm cycling 3,000km in 60 days through 8 countries to raise enough money to enable 100 people to get access to clean 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, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. 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.

Im taking two months unpaid leave and this is completely self funded, with the exception of a couple of sponsors @trutravel and @southwestsurvivals

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.

Please donate to my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help!
