Those of you who have followed me for some time know this time of year, I run a campaign for Charity Water.

It's important to take a few moments thinking of others who are in need of basic necessities for survival. Clean, potable water is key.

In total, over the past several years we have raised over $35,000 providing water for people in Southeast Asia, India, and SubSaharan Africa.

This year, my goal is to raise another $10,000--my stretch goal is to break $15,000 so the total will be more than $50K.

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.

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.

Thanks for taking the time to invest in helping someone less fortunate. Please pass this along to your colleagues, friends and neighbors.

Thank you!
