I walk for water

This is my third year celebrating Earth Month with Aveda, and as usual we are all participating in the "Walk for Water."

Its actually a really good cause; all the money raised goes towards creating access to fresh clean water for those in need.  Basically we all walk for 6km, which is the average distance that someone in a developing country has to walk for fresh water EVERY DAY.

Here are some facts:

Every 15 seconds a child dies from water-related illnesses resulting in 6000 deaths per day.

Poor water quality cause 10 times more deaths last year than all the wars waged on the planet.

People in developing countries use approximately 10 liters of water a day, while the average person in the US uses 350.

If you have the time i recommend that you check the site, and im also hoping that you'll be generous enough to support me.  You can donate at: www.iwalkforwater.ca

I believe they have a minimum donation of 5$, but anything you can give would be very much appreciated!
