Hi there :)

In 2019, I started an experiment to raise a couple of dollars for Charity Water. Since then, I have doubled the fundraising goal every year. This is the 6th year.

This year, the goal is $8000 by the end of November. This is $267 per day.

Last year, many said it would be impossible, yet we still managed, thanks to people like you.

This year, it is twice as hard :)

Thanks a lot for the support and big thanks to Dominik and Sijmen for their creative shirt design - they pay me for every day I wear it...

In case someone is interested in buying merch of this - let me know, obviously all the profits would go to the Charity.

Thanks
Alessandro

PPPS: Still reading? Here are some other facts:

According to a report, there is $40 trillion of money in circulation (Source 1), extrapolating the current growth of this Movember moustache project would result in another 32 years of this, until we reach the money limit, as then there would be no more money left for other things ;)

According to a Vox article, $1.22 trillion annually could give everyone access to clean water and sanitation (Source 2). So, this would mean in 27 years, we would be giving enough for this cause.
