Team Mighty - Walking for Change
Did you know that... Worldwide Women + Children Everyday:
spend 5 hrs a day obtaining water,
5 million girls cannot attend school because they are carrying water and
5,000 children die of preventable, water-related diseases ... yes, every day!
Join Team Mighty for our second year walking at Water 1st's Carry5 event to raise awareness, advocacy, and funds in support of clean water access worldwide. Of all the things folks think they 'need' in today's world, access to clean water trumps it all!!
And for my climate change-focused friends... you know more than most that access to water is not getting any easier these days!

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page for Carry5: Walking for Water. We (Doug, Laura, Sydney + Vivian) have walked this event in 2008 and 2009. Spend 3 hrs on this beuatiful Saturday and be prepared to be engaged and inspired!
Team participants will try to carry 5 gallons of water for 5 kilometers along Lake Washington Blvd., the average walk made by women and children in poor countries who lack access to safe, convenient water supplies - their burden is placed on individuals... during this Carry5 walk we were able to share the load.
Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support Team Mighty's fundraising efforts.
Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
