Why Michael Lazerow is fundraising for clean water

On April 23, I'm turning 38.

At first, I thought wow, I'm getting old.

But then I remembered that I'm the luckiest guy in the world. Millions of people don't live to see their fifth birthdays. And why? Because they don't have access to clean, safe water.

So I'm not too worried of turning 38 anymore. In fact, I'm celebrating my birthday like never before, thanks to my good friends Scott Harrison and Paull Young at charity: water.

I'm asking for $38 or $380 from everyone I know -- and every penny of the money raised will go directly to fund clean water projects in developing nations. Even better, charity: water will show us exactly which projects we funded once they've been fully completed (which takes about 18 months). That means we'll be able to see the communities we've helped!

My goal is to raise over $5000 by my birthday, April 23. [NEW GOAL: $15K]

Please join me to make this birthday count.
