I've loved the work charity water is doing for a long time now and am a big supporter of what they do. I had the privilege of seeing Scott Harrison, CEO of Charity Water, speak at my companies kick off this year.

The work they do with donations is incredible - and after hearing Scott talk it felt crazy to not start a birthday campaign and so I'm hoping to ask your help to raise $500 this year.

Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. Or even what it is like to not have access to clean water 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.

I'm hoping this fundraising campaign will help charity: water in their mission to alleviate this problem and provide clean drinking water to everyone in the world.

100% of your donations will be used to build clean water projects.

My ask is to skip the birthday beer this year and in exchange help myself and charity water provide others who need our help, access to clean water.
