I've had 25 birthdays so far, and every one of them has been a huge blessing. I love my life. In the last 5 of those years, i've had the opportunity to see the world. Literally. And some priorities have begun to change for me. Because of that, I want to do this birthday a little differently. I want to donate it to the cause of clean water around the world.

Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!

But many people that i've visited around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me.

This is a call to action. Will you help us get clean water to those who need it? Please donate to my campaign!

100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.
