On October 25th, I'm taking on the Caspers 50K Ultramarathon in San Juan Capistrano, California, uniting my two greatest passions: running and access to clean water.

Why connect this 31-mile journey with Water For People? As an avid runner who has spent most of my career in the water industry, I intimately understand water's vital importance—how it sustains, energizes, and transforms. Yet while I choose to run these miles with water readily available, many people worldwide have no choice. In numerous developing countries, women and girls walk an average of 3.7 miles (6 kilometers) daily to collect and provide water their families need to survive.

With each mile I run, you can help create a powerful ripple effect through Water For People. This remarkable organization is a global nonprofit working across Latin America, Asia, and Africa to address the global water crisis, equipping communities with lasting access to clean water and dignified bathrooms – for Everyone Forever. 

The Impact of Your Support:

• Children stay in school instead of spending hours collecting water.
• Families experience better health with fewer waterborne illnesses.
• Communities develop economic resilience when basic needs are met.
• Women and girls gain time for education and opportunity.

A donation of any size multiplies beyond what you might imagine. $25 can provide clean water to a person for life. You can make a lasting difference!

Please also consider doubling your impact by checking whether your employer will match contributions to a 501c3 charitable organization.

Join my journey. As I push through each challenging mile at the Caspers 50K (and the grueling training), your contribution will flow toward creating a world where no one suffers from preventable water-related illness, where education flourishes, and where communities thrive.

A huge thanks for any support,

Cam

P.S. While I'm out there running 31 miles and questioning my life choices from mile 20, I'll be thinking of all of you who kindly donated—partly because I'll be grateful, and partly because focusing on anything besides my body falling apart will be necessary. So really, your donation is also funding my mental wellness strategy!
