Why Eric Minton is fundraising for clean water

The Mintons are turning 55...collectively of course.

In 55 years of living we've learned a lot: how to walk, use a toilet, drive a car, read, write, use chopsticks poorly, swim (well Lindsay at least).

and

We've seen a lot change: computers, cell phones, texting, hybrids, data plans, scripted cable drama, internet creeping.

but

We've learned that one thing hasn't changed: People need clean water to live. Almost a billion people still don't have access to clean drinking water. You can change that with us as we pledge our birthdays to raise money for water.

In this endless campaign season, why waste time deciding between so many unthinkable options? Instead, choose one: Life. Also, choose one of our birthday campaigns to contribute to, because as much as this is about water, it's mostly about winning!

If Lindsay raises more money, she's taking home a pug.
If Eric raises more money, he gets an iPad.

The Minton Birthday Battle: "where everyone's a winner," except of course thirst, cholera, e coli, dysentery, and disease.
