Why Jon Mitchell is fundraising for clean water

On February 10th, I'm turning 34.

However, like most people my age, I'm not looking forward to any specific gift. I wish I could get as excited as my son Nicholas when he won this giant jar of candy but then I found out that millions of children don't live to see their 5th birthday. And why? Because they didn't have access to clean, safe water.

So this year, I'm celebrating my birthday like never before.

I'm asking for $34 from everyone I know - and every penny of the money raised will go directly to fund freshwater wells in developing nations. Even better, every dollar is "proved" when the projects are complete, and photos and GPS coordinates are posted using Google Earth.

My goal is to raise $1000 by my birthday, February 10th.

Please consider helping me.
