On June 9, 2012, I'm turning 50 years old!

At first, this seemed surreal, even daunting.

But then I found out that millions of people don't live to see their fifth birthdays. And why? Because they don't have access to clean, safe water.

So I'm not stressed about turning 50 anymore. In fact, I'm celebrating my birthday like never before. I’m celebrating with one of my all time favorite non-profit organizations: charity: water. charity: water’s mission is focused on helping the global water crisis by bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations.

Please accept my invitation to join Ferrell's Community by donating $50 to my birthday campaign. (Of course, a donation in any amount…$5…$25…$100…$500…is most appreciated!)

100% of your donation will go to build water projects where they are most needed. Even better, charity: water will show us exactly which projects we funded once they've been fully completed (which takes about 18 months). That means we'll be able to see the communities we've helped!

My goal is to raise $5,000 by my birthday - June 9, 2012. When this goal is met, “Ferrell’s Community” will be recognized on a plaque at the water point. I truly cannot think of a better birthday present!

Please join Ferrell's Community and let’s make a Big SPLASH for my birthday!

In gratitude,
Ferrell
