Run For Water Wells: Last chance to donate
Run For Water Wells is over! We encouraged anyone keeping tabs on Ben and Nathan's mileage to donate $1 for each mile they ran during their month-long fundraiser challenge. Between the two, they racked up a combined 148 miles and raised over $2,000 for a new water well in Malawi, Southern Africa.
If you haven't had a chance to donate yet, you still can. Visit the Water Wells For Africa website and click Donate. $1, $10, $100, or a total of their miles run, $148; any amount helps and supports the WWFA mission.

Run For Water Wells
Nathan from Cold War Kids and Ben from Death Cab for Cutie are running to raise money for the non-profit organization Water Wells for Africa.
While their bands are on tour together during the month of April, the number of miles they run is being recorded in real time at www.runforwaterwells.com. Fans can follow along as they rack up miles, and are encouraged to donate $1 for every mile the guys run.
Water Wells For Africa is a grassroots non-profit that has installed over 100 water wells in drought regions of Malawi, Southern Africa, providing fresh drinking water to 150,000-200,000 Malawians per day. Their goal is to work toward installing 1,000 new wells in hopes to bring the same clean water to 2 million people in the region.
