Philly Ix (eeks) out a 5K

There’s certain things that we take for granted in our lives.  The ability to have clean drinking water and electricity, I think, are the biggest two.  I’m sure during a thunderstorm you’ve lost power, for a short period of time, so you know what that’s like.  Could you imagine if water was scarce, or if you had a water outage?  What would you do?  I can’t even begin to answer that question, but for the children in Guatemala that’s a reality.  I’ve never questioned if the water I’m drinking is contaminated, and I’ve never had to walk more than a few feet to find clean drinking water.  That’s where IX style comes in, through the sale of the shoes at IX-style they use 100% of the profits to provide clean drinking water to children in Guatemala.  To further support the cause they are hosting a new 5K on the Manayunk towpath on October 12th.  Please come out and support the cause.  Besides operational expenses, a large portion of the proceeds will go to support the children.  It’s just one of the ways you can help out their cause.  If you would like more information or to register for the race click here.  Donations are being collected through Charity::Water.  I’ll see you on race day!
