Waves for Water Philippines together with Takbo.ph is launching Race For Water, a virtual ride and run experience to raise awareness on clean water access inequality. Funds raised from the event will go towards building a gravity-fed water system to an upland Aeta community in Porac, Pampanga that will enable them to have water points within meters of their homes. The accumulated distance traveled by all participants will also be converted into liters of water filtered, through the implementation of water filtration systems and distribution of containers to areas in need.
Do what you love, help along the way. Run, walk, and ride for water this March.
Race For Water is organized in partnership with H&M, Aveda, and The Bouldering Hive, and co-presented by TUMI, San Miguel Corporation, and Atlas.
Follow @wavesforwaterphilippines and @race4water to learn more about the exciting raffle prizes that await participants!
