My birthday is almost here. I'm not usually excited about getting older, but this year I'm really thankful to have lived another happy, healthy year.

Last summer, I attended the World Domination Summit in Portland, OR, where I heard Scott Harrison, founder of charity: water, speak about his story. He talked about his wild early life and how he was able to transform it. He started charity: water in 2006, and has helped people gain access to a better life ever since. 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. We can help change that.

I'm asking for my age in dollars from everyone I know. Every penny 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.

$1,000 can provide clean water for 50 people. That's not so out of reach, right? Your $27 can help us get there. No pressure, of course. Thanks in advance for your help!
