Why Heather McDowell is fundraising for clean water

WOW....I'm turning 34 on August 17th!!! Time flies when you're having fun! :) I can't imagine what it would be like to know that my time here on earth was limited simply because I had to go without the most basic necessity. CLEAN WATER.

Almost a billion people in the world are living without clean water. 30,000 people will die from water related diseases this week alone, and 4,500 of those people are children.

Instead of having a party or gifts for my birthday, I've decided I'd rather raise funds to give people access to clean and safe drinking water and I'm hoping YOU will help me reach my goal! Last year I raised over $1,000 and this year I want to triple that and go for 3,400 for my 34th birthday!! The best part: 100% of every dollar you donate for my birthday wish will go directly toward water projects and your donation is also 100% tax deductible!

Also, check out the Drinks 4 Drinks group link at the top of this page to see what me and my friends at Eastlake did on August 3rd to help the people of Cambodia. We raised over 700,000 in ONE NIGHT and every dollar you donate to my campaign adds to that HUGE number!! So proud of my Eastlake Community and the people of Seattle for coming together for an AWESOME cause. Together we are changing the WORLD!!!!

Now when someone asks you what you did today...you can say you gave 1 person clean water for 20 years. That's what $20 does!!! SO...pretty much you saved a life today! Thank you for your donation :)

xoxo,
Heather
