Hey guys, I'll try to keep this simple. Last year I listened to this podcast at work on TheRinger.com about this amazing story of how a one time party promoter created a charity that helps underdeveloped villages get clean water:

After listening I was inspired to also donate my birthday to this charity. So instead of getting wasted somewhere in Lower East Side or Williamsburg, I ask you guys to save the money you would use to buy me a drink and donate it here. Any little bit helps, and somewhere someone else in the world will be drinking clean water they need instead of me throwing up liquor that I don't need. Thanks!

Original Statement:
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 looking for anyone who can help me.

Please donate to my campaign -- 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.
