After living in the desert for almost 24 years, I know the importance of having clean drinking water. Whether it's to take a shower, brush my teeth, go to the bathroom, drink or even make my coffee... without water, I wouldn't be able to make it work every morning. My wife and kids wouldn't be able to make it to school.

Simply put, we wouldn't be able to function or live.

This year, I am donating my 40th birthday in the hopes of raising enough money so (at least) 40 people in Africa or Honduras or some other less developed nation will be able to go to work, school or simply function through their day.

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.

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.

I truly hope you will help me and find it in your heart to provide water for those who do not have the same access to the life giving water that you and I have.

Thank you so much in advance!
