Why Cardboard Shell is fundraising for clean water

Because we can increase the quality of life for others while forcing me to improve my personal hot dog record.

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! (For the record, I've never drank from my toilet. Honest.)

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. 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.

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me.

Anything you can give is a huge help.

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.

WHAT ABOUT HOT DOGS?
For each milestone where we raise enough to help 5 people, I'll make a YouTube video of a Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest training. My goal is to eat at least 33 hot dogs this year, and these trainings will help get me prepared to do so. Please help kick my butt into gear!
