Why alex charfen is fundraising for clean water

I don't need anything. There are things that I may want but the things I am missing to survive total zero.

Everyday millions of people live without clean water. This adds up to billions of hours in lost productivity, days and years lived in sickness, and most importantly billions of years of life robbed when a solution is available.

Waterborne illness is the second highest of childhood death in the world. It is difficult to think of what life would be like if I could not give my two daughter's something as simple as a clean glass of water and instead had to watch as they drank water we all knew was poisoning them.

Last week I had the privilege of seeing Scott Harrison the CEO of Charity Water in person. This guy is on a mission and he was one of the best speakers I have ever seen in my life. Not charity speakers, all speakers. His 45 minute presentation was genuine, inspiring and unforgettable.

Last year on my birthday our members and my friends sent me books, tapes, cards, flowers and more. This year you the greatest honor you can give me is to contribute to this campaign.
