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 in lieu of Birthday or Christmas presents this year. I chose to raise $1125 because it will help 37 people which is the age I'm turning in December. If 112 of my friends donate $10 each then we can reach that goal.

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 did this a few years back and was sent photos from a town in Cambodia that we helped. I recently travelled to Cambodia and saw first hand that some of the communities there are in desperate need of clean water.
Every little bit helps.
