6KM is the average distance children in vulnerable communities walk every day just to collect water for their families, and this water is often unsafe to drink.
When you walk, run, or hike 6KM, you're symbolically taking on that journey for a child, so that one day they won't have to make it themselves. As a participant, you commit to raising a minimum of $60 alongside your 6KM, helping to bring lasting, sustainable access to clean water to children like the ones this distance represents.
