This is Water Cycle 2010's second campaign as we reached the goal of our first one, which served 275 people with clean, safe drinking water!

Our journey across the United States of America from Portland Maine to San Francisco shall continue up the West coast of California to Portland Maine and as too will our goal of bringing clean. safe water to those in need.

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.

Our mission is to raise $1,000 for water. We want every mile to matter. We are asking for pledges per foot, per mile or flat out donations to help achieve our goal.

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. We aim to raise $1000 in the next three months.

Please join us in our journey to change the lives of those in need.
