Hi everyone- my birthday is coming up, and as I do every year I've been reflecting on how lucky I've been in my life. I have health, a roof over my head, food on the table, a great career, the best friends and family anyone could have, and a million reasons to greet the sun every morning. There's nothing I need. So this year, rather than focus on me on January 16th, I'd like to ask you to consider giving to those who aren't as fortunate as I have been. I've started this campaign with charity:water in the hopes of providing this basic necessity, which most of us take for granted, to those who can only dream of having access to clean water. I'm asking all of you to please consider joining me and make any donation you can. Please share with everyone you know. Thanks!

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.
