The 8th Annual
HOPE
RUN FOR H2O
September 19 - October 3rd, 2020
Help us make clean water possible for 2,000 people
WATER CHANGES EVERYTHING
Each day families traverse many kilometres to reach a pool of dirty water they will bring home to drink, bathe in, and cook with. Many will fall ill from the very thing they need to survive.
But clean water changes everything.
Join us September 19th - October 3rd as we walk with families around the world towards a future of hope.
Som Thon straps her baby to her back and walks an hour to the creek. Here, she washes her baby's bottle and fills a jug that she carries home to cook with.
Amarech is a community leader. She is also a mother of five. She must bring her children with her to the pond they drink from, over an hour's walk away.
Francisca Riz follows her grandson as he scrambles up the mountainous terrain ahead. In an hour they will reach the stream where they will gather water for their family.
Tribal Chief Rudy watches his village struggle to thrive without clean water. He is ready to lead his community forward.

The annual HOPE Run For H2O is more than just an initiative to bridge community, friends, and families. More than an opportunity to be active... more than just a time to learn about and engage with communities around the world.
The HOPE Run For H2O is all of these things, but so much more. It is a Canada-wide movement to come together and give the gift of clean water.
