So why are we giving up a birthday that we've SO been looking forward to (Varuna's golden birthday, Kelly's 30th), you might ask?!?!

Well, because we're getting old and truly don't need anything. But some people really do. Like clean water.

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.

We're giving up our milestone birthdays to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and we're looking for our friends and family to help!

Please donate to our birthday 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.

In the spirit of November, Thanksgiving, and OUR BIRTHDAY...please consider giving and sharing!
