I love water. I pretty much need it in and on my body everyday. Its my namesake. I can't celebrate my birthday without giving that experience to to everyone, especially those who don't have access to it.

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, 1,400 kids die from water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me.

Please donate to my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help.

I will also be gifting group surf lessons to those who donate a $27 minimum :) (booked anytime in advance or on August 29 celebration at Rose Ave, Venice Beach.)

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