Every Runner in VitaLife’s First Annual ‘Water For Life 5k Run’ Provides Clean Water to a Family in South Africa

By: Get News

New Lenox, IL, USA – August 12, 2021 – VitaLife is proud to sponsor and host the first annual Water For Life 5k Run in New Lenox, IL. In association with Willow Creek Community Church, VitaLife is raising money to build new wells in desperate areas of South Africa. In South Africa, “Water is life” is a common phrase and families are forced to make a tough choice every day between providing water for their children or for their animals that provide food for their families. Every one who registers for the “Water for Life’ 5K will provide a water filter for an entire family. The goal is to raise enough money to build two clean water wells, providing a permanent source of clean water to entire communities.

Vitalife is dedicated to helping provide clean water to South Africa, where women and girls are responsible for transporting the water. They spend 5 to 6 hours a day carrying 5-gallon buckets several miles each day, taking time away from education as well as putting them in danger on these long walks to and from water sources. Even in areas where they have access to water, the drinking water is collected from polluted sources. Waterborne disease is the leading cause of death in young children in Africa. These new wells provide the opportunity to save lives by preventing these waterborne diseases. $8,000 pays for an entire well, 10-foot tower, 10,000-liter tank, and multiple spigots. This is enough to supply a community as a whole with a permanent source of clean water.

A $1,000 donation purchases a 10,000-liter water tank, and every $25 donation provides a water filter for one family. “With the generous contributions and participation from this 5k, VitaLife hopes to raise enough money to build two wells this year,” says Davis Jasper, owner of Vitalife. “Please join us on this quest to look beyond our own backyard and bring clean water to those in need.”

Packet pickup takes place on Friday (September 3rd) at the VitaLife main office or day-of-race location starting at 7 AM.
