My (first annual) 29th birthday has come and gone, but the celebration never stops! This year I'm celebrating my birthday differently. I don't want presents or drinks. I want clean water.

If you know me, you know that I LOVE to drink water. Seriously. I have my water bottle with me at all times. My boyfriend, Jarrett tells me that I drink more water than anyone he's ever met. I love me some water. But I also love to help people.

So that's why it hurts my heart to know that women and children around the world have to walk hours every day to collect water for their families. And the worst part? The water they collect can make them sick. Terrible right? Well, we can actually do something about it. Just $20 can give a person clean water to drink.

The best part is that 100% of the money we raise will directly fund water projects around the world, and when those projects are complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the impact we made. I can't think of a better birthday gift.

So, instead of buying ME a drink this year, please donate to my campaign, and make this the best birthday ever!
