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.

For my birthday this year I'd love to be able to celebrate turning 33 by raising enough money to provide 33 people with access to clean, safe water. Please consider helping my birthday wish come true by contributing to my campaign!

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.

The average cost to fund a charity: water project comes to $30 per person, so as a "Happy Birthday to me!" I decided to donate the cost of water for 1 to start things off, so only 32 to go! I'm not asking that you give $30 to cover water for 1, I'm not requesting anything specific at all -- anything you can give is a huge help and greatly appreciated!
