Why Linda Blair is fundraising for 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.

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.

Please donate to my 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.

    i don't think much about my birthday until it's practically upon me. Now, I love having my friends and family around to celebrate, but it has never been terribly important.
    so, what is different this year?
    Many of you who know me also know that I'm a Jesus follower and Andy Stanley is my favorite person to listen to to keep me engaged and motivated to be salt and light.
    I just listened to part 2 of "Voices" on www.Northpoint.org and was taken aback by the realization of how VERY MANY people in the world have NO access to clean water.
    Because I am coming up on my birthday week, the "Birthday Pledge" just connected for me.
    i would love to be able to donate enough money so that 59 people (how many years old i am this year) could have clean water in their lives. This is my favorite (taken for granted) luxury-- water coming from a faucet into my home so I can bathe, drink, be clean and wash!

    THEREFORE...... if you are a friend of mine, it would thrill my heart if you would remember my birthday by donating an amount to this charity. If you would meet me for coffee or dinner or a movie just pledge that amount and I will match it. I'd spend the same amount if we got together so it just makes sense!
