	Magdalena Michalowicz Running a marathon Hi. My name is Magda and I’m addicted to pain. On August 17, 2008, I’ll be running the America’s Finest City Half Marathon in San Diego, CA. I’m running not only to show my lungs and legs who’s boss, but also to help charity:water bring clean drinking water to the 1.1 billion people who lack it. “But Magda,” you may ask, “what’s in it for me?” In addition to helping me build wells in Africa, India and Bangladesh, you too can experience the joy of running a half marathon without any of the discomfort, sweat, or risk of heat stroke. Why choke down those disgusting packets of energy gel when I’ll do it for you? Take it easy, stay in bed. No, I insist. Let me get up at 6 a.m. for training races. Let me dump little paper cups of water over my head. Let me wear the unflattering shorts. Really. It’s my pleasure. Read my training blog and pat yourself on the back every time I add a workout. Or join my Facebook group. Commenting on photos or videos is just as important as putting in road time.
Soon you too will be relaying amusing anecdotes about how prolonged time in the sun can make you think your iPod shuffle is trying to communicate with you. But wait, there’s more! Modern travel can be such a hassle. I’ll travel to San Diego for you while you visit the AFC website from the comfort of your own home to check my split times. Donate per mile (there’s 13 of them, but who’s counting?), per minute of race time, per blister. Or just pick a number, any number will do. I hope to finish in under two hours, but you have five months to click that “donate” button. learn more about the charity: water initiative >> learn more about charity: projects and partners >>

what happens next?	Donate in support of Magda's run:
After a well is installed, charity: water partners will work directly with villagers, teaching them how to maintain and fix their well and hand pump device, while also conducting basic hygiene and sanitati on classes.		100% of your donation will directly build freshwater wells and basic sanitation projects. donor disclosure policy >
