Hi everyone!!
I'm super excited to announce that I'm going to run my FIRST EVER half-marathon on November 18, 2017 with NYCRUNS in support of a charity that means a lot to me!!
In my senior year of high school, I was president of Townsend Harris Seekers and we organized a Walk for Water charity event (where my campaign photo is from). Afterwards, one of my best friends, Chloe, and I felt so strongly about the cause that we decided to dedicate our 18th birthdays to Charity: Water and asked for donations instead of gifts. Both campaigns were super successful and we helped provide clean water for two communities in Ethiopia (WOO!!)
My 21st birthday is on April 30th, and I'd like to do this again. Presents are great but the gift of quality life is irreplaceable. If you were thinking of getting me something, thank you so much (!!), but I ask you to please donate to my campaign instead.
I love Charity: Water because 100% of everything we raise will go straight to building water projects. Then, when the projects are complete, Charity: Water will show us exactly where they are and who they're helping. I think it's awesome that we'll be able to see the communities we've impacted :)
As for the half-marathon training, I've still got a long way to go.. I have yet to run a straight 13.1 miles. However, millions of women and their children walk more than 14 miles just to get water for their families. Most of this water is contaminated, but it's the only water they have. They take the chance of contracting deadly diseases with every sip :(
Keeping this in mind, I'm going to train hard and run these 13+ miles several times over so they don't have to! Please keep me accountable and check up on how training/this campaign is going every now and then! Your prayers and support will remind me that I'm running this marathon not just for myself but for people in need.
I will be fundraising until race day. You can make a tax deductible donation (credit card, PayPal, check, or stock) here at my campaign page or give me money in any way, shape, or form - I will make sure that it gets added in your name! No amount is too small! Every dollar will make a huge difference.

Thank you so much and God bless!
With love,
Sarah :)
P.S. I am aware that this campaign will close before my race. Unfortunately, I have no control over this as it is part of Charity: Water's policy, but I will open up another campaign when the time comes! I just got excited after registering for the half-marathon and thought that my birthday month would be the perfect time to kick off this campaign :)
Thanks so much for reading all of this and for being a part of my race for clean water! ♥

Hi all!! :)
Thank you SO much for all of your generosity and support thus far. Together, we have raised $500 for people in need to receive access to clean water!! This campaign has reached half of my fundraising goal, and I could not have done it without your help. I hope that you would share in my excitement to see which communities our donations will touch and leave a lasting impact on!!
Due to charity: water's policy, each fundraising page has about a 3 month cap so that new water projects can take off. That being said, I'm going to continue fundraising until race day. I have just opened up a new campaign here: https://my.charitywater.org/sarah-han/sarah-runs-a-half-for-charity-water-2-0. I can't wait to see all the communities that we will touch!
I hope that you would continue to keep me and this cause in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you again and let's continue to run the race for clean water together! ♥

This campaign raised $500. That money is hard at work in the field.
100% of the money raised by this campaign is being used to bring clean water to help those in need. In 21 months we’ll be able to show you exactly where the money went and who it helped.
