The other day I went on a run and I passed 5 water fountains. I only ran 7 miles and passed 5! I can't wrap my brain around the fact that in many developing countries people walk 7 miles just to get to water(often dirty) and here in Atlanta I almost couldn't get away from it.
Were not sure exactly what got into us but next weekend Jacquelyn, Nicole and myself are running the country music marathon (half). I know personally I am more excited to explore Nashville then I am to run 13.1 miles, but either way it's going to be a good time!
After we are done i'm sure that we will want nothing more then a tall glass of water and a nap. Along the way there will be water stops for us, but for our friends in the Sudan there are no water stops on their journey, no people cheering them on or encouraging them to keep going, no fun music playing and their day just begins once they get water. So while we are running we will be thinking about that. We will be encouraging eachother to keep going and to run our hearts out for those that don't have the option to go on a joy run because they have to go on a water walk daily.
We are getting closer to our goal to bring clean water to Sudan and would love for you to consider partnering with us. Your donation is tax deductible and will change lives for our friends at Bright Star Academy who deserve to drink clean water!
