Why We Run. Why It Matters. 💧🏃♀️
Every step taken in our 9th Annual Running & Walking Well 5K is about more than just a race — it's about hope, health, and humanity.
Right now, the community of Aler, Uganda walks over 3.7 miles daily to fetch unsafe water shared with animals. Children carry heavy jerry cans. Families face illness, and the current water source is drying up. 🌍💔
We're running to change that.
With your help, we’re raising funds to dig a deep, sustainable well — bringing clean water to thousands and transforming daily life for an entire village.
💙 Join the movement. Make every step count.
