World Vision is a non-governmental humanitarian organization providing clean water to the poorest developing countries. More than 700 million people still lack access to clean water. I raise money for Team World Vision as a volunteer to increase awareness and increase chances for those in greatest need to receive life-changing water. Those who are sponsored also benefit from better education and health care, child advocacy, and spiritual enrichment. I have raised over $100,000 for clean water and child sponsorship in 4 years while running 3 races: Chicago Marathon, London Marathon, and Hood to Coast Relay.
