As you may or may not know I love giving gifts but rarely want or expect gifts in return --- especially on my birthday.

In fact, I kind of suck at receiving them --- this year I really really really really want a gift from all of you in the form of a donation to Charity Water.

My birthday wish this year is not for gifts to me personally; it's to give clean and safe drinking water to some of the billion living without it. I want to make my birthday matter this year.

I am so thankful for the joy and love of all of my family and friends and having the opportunity to provide clean and safe water to those in need is the best birthday gift I could receive.

Please join me in providing clean water for the women and children in need and give me the birthday gift that will last in the lives of other for years to come.

Thank you and I love you all!!!!!

FACT #1 A billion people in the world are living without clean water - but how much are they really living? Millions contract deadly diseases from contaminated water. 45,000 people will die this week alone. The lucky ones won't, but still walk hours each day to get dirty water to give to their families.

FACT #2: Because of charity: water's unique model, 100% of all donations go directly to direct water projects costs, and each donation is "proved" and tracked to the village it helped when projects are complete.

My birthday wish this year is not for more gifts I don't need; it's to give clean and safe drinking water to some of the billion living without it. I want to make my birthday matter this year.

Please join me.
