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 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.

Please donate to my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help. Ideally $35 for my 35th, but hey any amount helps be it: $0.35, $3.50, $350, $350, or more. ;)

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.

The transparency of this organization and their amazing work is what made me fall in love with them, and drives me to raise money for their efforts year over year. So thank you for whatever you are able to donate today. It will truly go towards a great cause! :)
