Many of us remember the story of Rachel Beckwith (link), a young girl from Seattle who passed away tragically in an auto accident. When she died $80 short of her charity: water campaign goal, friends & family began to donate the difference and the story spread. Soon all the national networks were airing the story […]

The money received goes to bring clean water to those in third world countries who are dying from lack of access […]
