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 heard Scott talk about charity:water and was so impressed with the organization that I've decided to donate my birthday. Since it costs $30 to give 1 person clean water, it seemed like the perfect fit for my 30th birthday.

I'm not planning on having any sort of party or dinner, or asking for any gifts, rather I'd like to see that money go toward a better use. So help me give 30 people clean water for my 30th.

Please consider giving $30 to give 1 person clean water, in honor of me turning 30. You can give more or you can give less, any amount is appreciated and makes a difference.

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.
