Help Fund a Water Project
I have recently been watching hundreds and hundreds of people waste water for a cause. I find the cause, ALS, very important, but I do not think dumping gallons of pure, clean water over ourselves is the right way to go about spreading awareness for it. After a lot of thought and research of how I can raise awareness for Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which is a neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brian to the spinal cord from the spinal cord to the muscles all throughout the body, while saving this water and donating it elsewhere I decided the Water Project was an amazing way to do so. I want to spread awareness for this challenge as well because it is important and close to my heart. Just like ALS, millions of people are dying from diseases and illnesses as a result clean water scarcity. I believe in making a difference in anyway possible, and in doing so, I want to help two very important foundations at once! Both of these challenges opened my eyes to how blessed I am and how easy it is to make a difference. My goal is to one spread awareness for both the Water Project and ALS, and two to raise as much money as possible and then split the earnings to both foundations! I hope you find value in this challenge and join me!

Why It Matters
Did you know nearly 1 billion people don't have safe water to drink?
Together, we can change that. Let's fund a new source of drinking water for those who suffer needlessly without it!
Our gifts will be used to construct or rehabilitate a water project, like a well or sand dam, in Africa. We'll see pictures, GPS coordinates, and updates as they come in from the actual water project we fund so we can celebrate the results along with the community we help.
