goal
12/15/2010 I've swam 5500 yards!
In three months, my goal is to swim 6000 yards or more.
I'm asking people to commit to donating $1 or more for every 500 yards I swim. If I make it to my goal of 6000 yards, that's a donation of $12. My goal is to raise over $500 by December 28.
I'm tired of sitting around on my duff, complaining about how messed up the world is, but never doing anything to change it. The time to act is now! If you find yourself feeling the same way, I'm asking you to commit to donating for this cause.
Every week, 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 catching diseases like bilharzia and schistosomiasis (parasites) - with every sip. There's nothing they can do to change it.
Because of charity: water's unique model, 100% of all donations go directly to water projects, and each donation is "proved" when projects are complete.
I hope you'll join me in helping them now.
