My 25th birthday is approaching and as I look back on my life so far, what stands out to me are not the things I've done, but what I've failed to do. When I look back on my life, I want to see a person who helped make other people's lives better. So, I'm giving up my 25th birthday in an attempt to do just that.

Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of clean water to drink, 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.

Please donate to the 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.

Thanks for your help!
