Over 748 million people in the world are living without access to clean water. I find that unacceptable.

It's my birthday and typically I don't usually ask for presents. This year, I've once again decided to make an exception. I'm asking all my friends and family to donate to charity: water and give clean water to people who need it, instead of giving me gifts. Last year, my birthday water campaign managed to raise $365 dollars. That's a buck a day that went towards making the world a better place. That's awesome, and I would once again like to thank those who donated. 100% of that money went towards providing clean water somewhere in the world.
This year, I'm aiming higher. Lets hit $1000. Let's help those who need it.

Did you know that almost a billion people on the planet don't have access to clean drinking water? Every day, 1,400 kids die from water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday. But it doesn't have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.

100% of every dollar you donate to my birthday campaign will be used to build clean water projects in developing countries. charity: water funds their operating costs separately through a group of private donors, so 100% of all public donations will go directly to people in need.

Help me make this birthday my best ever -- donate to my campaign!
