Carry 5, a 5K walk for water CARRY5
Join us on Saturday, May 30, 2009, at Seattle’s Seward Park, as we carry water in support of communities in need of clean drinking water.
Individual and team participants will try to carry 5 gallons of water for 5 kilometers along Lake Washington Blvd., the average walk made by women and children in poor countries who lack access to safe, convenient water supplies. All ages welcome!

What would it be like to carry 5 gallons of water for 5 kilometers every day and still not have enough?
CARRY 5 raises funds and awareness to end the water crisis for people living in poor countries. You can join in a walk for water near you, or start a CARRY 5 walk of your own. Once you've registered, you can create your own fundraising page, form fundraising teams, and invite other people to help you reach your goals.
- In developing countries, women and children spend up to 5 hours each day collecting dirty water from contaminated streams and ponds.
- Water-related illnesses kill 5 million people each year, the majority of whom are children under age 5.
- Every day, 5,000 children die from preventable water-related illnesses.

Terry, that is a very touching video. If I were there, I would walk the park. You did a great job filming. You are going to film on Saturday right?
The walk is today.
The weather is good, I'm looking forward to it.
