goal
There are 800 million people in the world living without access to clean water. Let's change that friends!
Hello friends, my birthday is almost here. It's been an amazing year for me filled with lots of travel, great learning and amazing friends along the way and I feel truly blessed. My friend Tate brought this campaign to my attention a few months ago and I would love your support. I recently learned that 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. It seems absolutely crazy to me that this is the case and I want to play some small part in changing this, with your help.
I'm asking for my age in dollars from everyone I know or if that's too much, a small donation would be appreciated. Every cent of the money raised will directly fund clean water projects in developing countries. Even better, charity: water will show us exactly which projects we funded once they've been fully completed (which takes about 18 months). That means we'll know the locations and names of the communities we helped.
Help me reach my goal. Please donate to my birthday campaign. Thank you friends!
To water...and the man who inspired me to drink it.
