Why Vesa Parviainen is fundraising for clean water

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water bring water to people with no access to it.

This September, I will run 1K per $1 donated by September 6th (my birthday).

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.

Hello everyone!

I wanted to reach out to you and first of all thank you all for you donations. It has made me get up almost everyday and run. So far I have covered 183 km.

To cover the whole distance (573 km) by running during this month has become too challenging for me at this point. I have decided to mix things up a little.
I am going to do some of the distance by bike. I hope this doesn't make anyone upset. I am doing this to prevent some running injuries that might occur if I keep pushing too much.

Once again thanks for your donations.

Best in health,

Vesa
