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.

Hi,

My name is Di, I was born on Thanksgiving day 1967. I'm a wife of over 30 years, a mother of 2 really great grown women and a Grandmother to one stinkin' smart girl !

There is nothing more that I love than giving and do-ing for others. That's why I've decided to go against the norm and instead of throwing a big hoorah I'm turning 50 party... (I was never one to celebrate myself) I wanted to try something else.

I've decided to spend my special milestone 50th YEAR... giving back ! Raising funds, helping others, volunteering my services and time spreading my wings locally and worldwide to organizations, people, animals and this earth, bigger than I ever have before !

I was going to start on my actual birthday... but decided it might be best to get a head start... so I have begun re-searching and joining volunteer sites, setting up campaigns online, preparing for success !

I am hoping and planning to raise funds for more than just 1 charity of choice, I will be matching some of the money that I raise, I will also let my doners help choose the organizations to give to.

This is all just beginning...

I am hoping you will join me by making a contribution, nothing is too small and it will make you and everyone involved feel great ! Please share my campaign with your friends, on your social media... success comes from big numbers of people hearing about it, committing and taking action !

So, who will step up and be the first to contribute !?

Doing for others is way better than doing for yourself, don't you agree ?!

CELEBRATE WITH ME ! : )
