March for Water
\n\"\"<\/a><\/h1>\n

For 1 in 9 people around the world getting a drink of water isn’t as simple as turning on a tap. They have no choice but to make long, tiring, and often dangerous journeys to remote water sources – and then haul heavy cans or buckets all the way back home. It’s a journey that for some is an eight kilometre round trip, and a burden that more often than not falls to women and young girls, who sacrifice their education and careers to make sure their families have water.<\/p>\n

By sharing my shoelace selfies, talking to my friends and family about the challenge I hope to raise a wee bit of money for WaterAid.<\/p>\n

How far should you walk?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

It’s up to you how far you pledge to walk\u00a0and when you do it. You could walk a little every day by getting off the bus early or doing a lap of the park on your way home. Or you could do longer, more scenic walks on the weekends. Below are some distance ideas from us:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 2km a day (62km a month) – the average journey length to the nearest water source<\/li>\n
  • 4km a day (124km a month) –\u00a0the average round-trip distance to the nearest water source<\/li>\n
  • 8km a day (248km a month) –\u00a0the distance of two round-trips to the nearest water source<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
