When you turn on your faucet to wash your hands or get a drink of water, you may not realize it's a luxury millions of other people in the world don't have.

That's one reason why members of the Fox Valley Church of Christ in Appleton held the fifth annual Hope Walk for Water.

Dozens of people walked a mile and a half down to the Fox River to collect water and walked another mile and half back to the church with full water containers.

The walk is meant to emulate the journey many people across the world take every day to get drinking water.

"Statistically one in every five hospital beds that is occupied around the world is occupied by someone who has gotten a hold of bad water. So, it's the most epidemic problem in the world today," said Damon Brog, Coordinator of the walk.

The walk also raises money for The Water Project which helps dig wells in communities in Africa so people can have clean water at their fingertips.
