Bethany Peters Marathon Update: Race Run, Lots Of Money Raised

As you may have noticed, we’ve been trying to help our pal Bethany who planned to run in the Chicago Marathon (her first marathon, with shaky knees no less) to raise money for wells for African kids.

Mission accomplished! She raised over $25,000, thanks in part to you guys, and that will translate into 62.5 wells.

We have no idea how many people can use a well but let’s assume 50. At that rate, 3,125 people will soon see their lives transformed by the gift of clear, safe drinking water. That’s nearly the population of Troy, NC.
