goal
On October 21, I'm turning 27... getting old, right?
At first, this seemed surreal, even daunting.
But then I found out that 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 scared of turning 27 anymore. In fact, I'm celebrating my birthday like never before.
Instead of buying me gifts or a drink at the bar, I would like you to donate instead -- 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 $500 by my birthday, October 21, 2011.
Please join me to make this birthday count.
UPDATE 9/28 - WE HIT THE ORIGINAL GOAL!!!! I have upped the ante to $1000 and I know because you are all awesome we will hit it!!!! As an added bonus, I am giving a free portrait session to the highest donation!!!
