I started with a huge goal 2 years ago of $30,000 raised by the time I turned thirty. Well, that was this year and the goal was far from met, however almost $2,000 was raised and sent to Ethiopia to wells to be built for clean drinking water. I'm doing a final campaign to build on what has been raised by those who have been partnering with me & charity:water over the last two years to make to thing happen.

The cliche phrase "30 and dirty" comes to mind, but this time around I'd like to say " 30 and NOT dirty" so that clean drinking water may be not only a privilege but an everyday option for those who do not yet know of something so simple and so valuable... Something we often take for granted.

I've rarely expected gifts from friends and family for my birthdays over the years, although I've received an abundance for sure. This year for the remainder of AUGUST and the next couple months, I'd love it if you thought of me or wished me happy birthday to just give a few dollars to this clean water campaign : 30 and not dirty. Spread the word, we can do it!!!!! My goal is $3000 in the next 3 months.

That you so much for all your love and support bringing me into this next decade. Thank you in advance for your financial contribution as well, so that all may know the simple joy of clean water.
