It’s that time of year again! The time of year that hundreds of students and leaders converge on the trail from Alton to Hartford and walk 8.1 miles to raise money for Speed the Light (STL)! This year, our group is walking to raise money that will help purchase a trailer that will carry a well digging rig and provide clean water to people in Africa.
According to thewaterproject.org:
• Nearly a billion, 884 million people do not have access to clean water. 37% of those people live in Sub-Saharan Africa
• Half of the world’s hospital beds are filled with people who are suffering from a water-related illness
• By investing in clean water alone, young children around the world can gain more than 413 million days of health
• Nearly 1 out of 5 deaths under the age of 5 is due to a water-related illness
Your donation, whether per mile or a simple donation, is tax deductible! If you would like to support anyone in Project365 Student Ministries who will be walking on September 7, please let Pastor Stacey know!
