I am turning 31 this year and, instead of gifts for myself, all I want is to raise money for my favorite charity, charitywater.org, to bring clean water to 31 people in this world. All it will take is 31 people to donate $31, and we will have the funds needed to bring clean water to 31 people - seems destined, don't you think? I have kicked us off with the first donation - do I have 30 more people willing to help me? Please read more about this wonderful organization below...

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.

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.
