My 28th birthday is almost here, and I'm thankful to have lived another happy, healthy year with my friends and family. With that in mind, I can't think of anything else that I want on this day. So instead of taking gifts, I'm asking others to give. I'd like you to help give clean water to those in need.

I recently learned that 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.

Whether you were going to get me a gift or not, today is a great day to give. If you can't give today, Charity Water will accept donations at any time. Or you can be charitable in other ways, like helping out at a local school or shelter.

In the spirit of bringing our fortune and happiness to others in the world, help me reach my goal. Please donate to my birthday campaign.
