Every day, 2,200 kids under the age of 5 die from water-related illnesses. Let's help change that!

Am I really turning 36 on August 17th?!?! That must mean it's time for my 4th Annual Charity:Water Birthday Campaign! For those of you who have been on this journey with me the past 3 years, you know that together we have raised over $5000 to bring clean water to developing countries! WOW! I am so amazed by the generosity of my family, friends and co-workers and together, we really ARE making a dent in the water crisis. This might be my 4th campaign, but the water crisis has not lost its relevance. There are still over 800 million people in the world without clean water...so the need is MASSIVE and your donation is VALUABLE!

I can't imagine knowing that my time here on earth was limited simply because I had to go without the most basic necessity - CLEAN WATER. This is unacceptable but FORTUNATELY with social media channels like Facebook - we are all connected - and we all have the ability to make a difference!

This is definitely one of the best traditions I have ever made and I cant wait to see how we impact the WORLD with our generosity! This gift of helping others is way better than any material gift so I am giving up my birthday party and presents this year, and saving lives instead (with your help)!

I'm asking for my age in dollars from everyone I know. Every penny of the money raised will directly fund clean water projects in developing countries. $36 will give one person clean water for 20 years!!! MIND BLOWN. Even better, your donation is tax deductible and 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 know the locations and names of the communities we helped!

So with that said...let's do this!! Cheers to all the lives saved and birthdays celebrated year after year due to your generosity. THANK YOU for this amazing gift! xxoo
