Family, Friends, Colleagues:

I was able to see Scott Harrison in person in August and was moved by his story. It is simple. about 10% of this world does not have access to clean water. I am donating my 37th birthday to help those in need. Please do not give me gifts this year, just money/donate to this cause. I am turning 37, so if you could donate at least $37, that would be awesome. If you want to give less, that is ok, if you want to give more, great! Read the rest of charity:water's story:

You wanna talk about crazy?

663 million people on this planet don’t have access to clean water. That’s 1 in 11 of us!

That means 1 out of 11 people in our world is drinking water that comes from a river, lake or muddy hole in the ground every day. Dirty, contaminated water that has leeches and debris in it. Water that causes disease, keeps kids out of school and takes hours to bring back home.

What’s NOT crazy is doing something to help. I joined charity: water’s September Campaign this year because I believe that every person on the planet deserves clean water, and I’m looking for anyone who can help me.

100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects for people in need, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.

You can give a little or you can give a lot. The craziest thing we can do is nothing.
