Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. 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.

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm hoping if you've read this far, that you'll help me out! Because, let's face it, you're amazing and want to share the love. And water. ;)

Since I'm turning 43, I'm asking you to donate $43... or any amount above or below that amount that suits your budget.

Anything you can give is a huge help. Even $4.30.

100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.
