Did you know that in developing countries the average distance a child walks for clean wa- ter is 5 kilometers? That can be changed by walking or running that same distance! On April 4, the Run for Water will begin with a 5K and 10K Run/Walk and 1/4 Mile Kids Run around beautiful Lodi Lake to raise money to cover the cost of drilling wells at schools in developing countries!
The Recycle for Water movement which Bear Creek Water founded in 2009, exists to save lives by providing life saving water to those without a safe water source—did you know a child dies every 2 minutes from preventable, water-related diseases? This is accomplished by recycling plastic bottles and aluminum cans with a California Redemption Value to cover the cost of drilling wells in developing countries through Living Water International. In the past 11 years, Bear Creek Water along with other Recycle for Water programs in Northern California have covered the cost of more than 200 wells providing desperately needed water to over 100,000 people.
Come out and enjoy a 5k or 10k run/walk around beautiful Lodi lake; receive a technical running shirt; a chance to win awesome raffle prizes and awards; enjoy the Kids Fun Zone and pancake breakfast; and most importantly, become a life saver!
Join us in saving the lives of children and bring your recycling too! For more information go to RunforWater.net
