In July 2012 I heard charity: water's CEO, Scott Harrison, speak in Portland, OR. The images and stories in his presentation resonated so deeply that I knew I had to do something to help.

For my 25th birthday, my wonderful friends, family, and the Living for Monday community raised $1,170. I was so honored by the outcome, but this year I think we can do more... much more.

I'm committed to raising at least $5,200, and I'm offering benefits to you for helping.

Water is life. That's true around the globe in every community. Including mine. And yours.

The difference between water in the suburbs of Atlanta and water in the villages of rural Africa: you and I don't have to think about where our next glass of water will come from or whether it will give us a deadly disease.

I'm so committed to helping eradicate this problem that I'm offering Kickstarter-style rewards for every person that donates at least $50. Here's how it will work:

Donate at least $52 (Limit: 100) - get a first edition Living for Monday American Apparel t-shirt

Donate at least $260 (Limit: 20) - Get a free 1-hr group mastermind call with me - guaranteed groups of 5 or less

Donate at least $520 (Limit: 10) - Free all-day group session with me + special guest speakers in Atlanta, January 2014 (Travel and accommodation not included)

Donate at least $1,040 (Limit: 5) - One-on-one all day strategy session

Donate $5,200 (Limit: 1) - One week consulting project from the Living for Monday team for an organization of your choice

If we use up even one level of these prizes, we'll raise my goal of $5,200. If we use up every prize, we'll raise $26,000.

Let's change the world, shall we?
