...so I've got good news and bad news.

Lets start with the bad: I'm turning 33, which means this year I'm hitting you up for an extra buck :-(

The good news: This year's campaign is 2 for the price of 1! That means for every $1 you give, i'll match it with $2 of my own.

Bringing clean water to a community is one of the easiest ways that we all can make a big impact. I've partnered with Charity:Water in this effort because:

1) I've personally gotten to know and work with them - I trust them with my own money.

2) 100% of your donation goes to bringing clean water to a community that doesn't have access to it. (Absolutely **nothing** goes toward overhead, credit card fees, advertising, etc.).

3) They are one of the best "clean water" charities in the world, and the clean water crisis is one of the best "bang for you buck" causes that you can find. ≈ $30 provides clean water to someone for a lifetime. Clean Water = Health, Hygiene...and the one thing we rarely think about, TIME. Having to devote 8 hours of your day just to go bring back a single jug of what amounts to "poop water" can really put a damper on your education, ability to parent, and/or ability to work.

Thank you so much everyone for even considering to help me achieve this goal. Last year people who I haven't talked to in years came out to support the cause. It was beyond cool, and I'm so grateful to anyone and everyone who considers taking part. (It really makes my b-day a great day....despite getting older).
