My birthday is almost here. I'm not usually excited about birthdays, but this year I'm especially thankful to have lived another happy, healthy year.

This year I've pledged to donate my birthday because millions of kids around the world don't live to see their fifth birthday because they don't have access to clean, safe drinking water.

I'm asking for my age in dollars from anyone who wants to help me put my birthday to a good cause. Every penny of the money raised will directly fund clean water projects in developing countries.

Please consider making a contribution. -Anna
