The Water for Life
Walk for Water
WMI Founders George and Molly Greene
led the 3.5 mile Walk for Water
to raise awareness of the global water crisis.
This is the first year WMI has hosted
the Walk for Water. Over 300 people participated and
more than $11,000 were raised for the organization.
Participants had the option to carry
2-gallon water buckets that they could
fill with dirty water at the half-way point of the
walk.
Signs bearing the gruesome statistics
of the ongoing global water crisis
were strategically placed throughout the duration
of the walk to remind
people what they were walking for.

who joined the afternoon's activities in the park.
The GEL Team from GEL Engineering was
given the Team Spirit Award.
The team had over 80 walkers participate.
WMI Founder Molly Greene attempted
to carry her waterbucket on her head just as most
women and children do worldwide each day. 1 gallon
of water weighs approximately 8 lbs.

Participants could fill their buckets
with dirty water from Colonial Lake
at the half-way point of the walk.
The first annual Water for Life Walk
was sponsored by Glasspro.
