Madison will be 10 years old on July 1st!
Once again, she wants to raise money for Charity: Water for her birthday.

Last year, Madison raised over $1600. Her goal this year is $500. (She originally set it at $210 but I told her to dream big and she made me stop at $500. She thinks people may not donate this year because she campaigned last year. Let's prove her wrong!).

Madison has always had a big heart for those less fortunate than her. She wants to raise money for the poor kids who don't have access to clean water in lieu of birthday presents.

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.

Please donate to Madison's 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. (For those of you who donated last year, thank you! You will get the information from last year's campaign in a few weeks time.)

Thanks again for your support and for helping make Madison's 10th birthday special.

Have a wonderful summer! Enjoy our clean beaches! We are so blessed!
