Where there is water, there is life

Before the raceThe Run for H2O events fund raise to complete projects around the world to bring fresh drinking water to communities that do not have easy access to water. They chose to run through our community this morning, so I when Bailey and I saw everyone lining up, we figured it was a cause we could support. The park where Bailey and I are standing in the photo is literally 3 minutes from our front door.

The video tells the tale of need, but the logic for running the race in our neighbourhood is terrific I think. We’re a new community on the water, so bringing water to another community just seems the right thing to do.

Pretty shocking way to have to live your life right? So we hurried home and changed into running clothes and got back over to support this great cause.

Bailey helps outBailey was a big hit there – everyone wanted to come over and pet her and she put on a heck of a show for everyone! See how she helped one of the young ladies checking people into the race?

Anyway – great cause – fun race. Nice music. Great people. Wonderful weather. Nice day all around. I ran rather poorly, but was still lots of fun.
