The Running Water 5k was held on April 14th at Oregon Ridge Park. It was a race to benefit Blood:Water Mission. B:W M is a charity organization that builds clean drinking wells in underprivileged communities in Africa. By bringing clean water to these communities they hope to help fight the war against diseases especially AIDS. Clean fresh water means better sanitation which will help keep AIDS victims healthier and therefore they might live longer.

(Everyone lined up to race the 5k)

Adventures For The Cure partnered with Hunt Valley Church and their young adult ministry called "twelve." to put on this 5k that raised about $10,000 for B:W M. According to B:W M a new well cost an average of $3,000 so we built about 3 wells!!

This could affect so many lives and I believe we really made a difference through these efforts :). Not only did we make a difference but everyone had a super great time at the race!!
