Carl Axel Franzon
100 MILES!!! Why would anyone run that far? Why Carl? (some of you asked that when I ran 50 miles last year...)
Why? Because more than more than 800 children under age 5 die every day from diarrhea caused by contaminated water, poor sanitation, and improper hygiene and it doesn't have to be that way. Women shouldn't have to lose 200 million hours a day getting water for their families.
Why? I am running to help people learn about the lack of clean water and how we can work together with World Vision to make a difference. Since 2016 World Vision has reached 25 million people with clean water, halfway to their audacious goal of reaching 50 million by 2030.
Am I asking you to run 100 miles? No, but I am asking you to consider donating to bring clean water and bring hope and healing.
$50 = clean water for 1 person
Will you invest in the future and provide clean water for 1, 2, 3, or even more people?
This year with a big race, I set a big goal. Instead of sponsorships though I am asking you to donate to bring clean water to individuals.
My goal: $10,000!
Running 100 miles. Raising $10,000. Those are big goals. But, keeping in mind the needs, I think these are goals we can meet.
