The water walk was part of Well Aware's 15th annual Shower Strike campaign, where participants skip showers or go on "water walks" to raise awareness and funds to bring clean water to communities that don't have it.
Jeff McElven, a high school student who participated, said it helps show what people have to go through for clean water. "It shows what they got to do on a daily basis, and the program helps them get drinking water. They have to walk miles just to get drinking water, every day, too."
