With God's help, in three months, I'm going to lose as much weight as I can. I don't have much money to give on my own, but I hope that people will show their support by contributing.

I will exercise, eat better, and drop as many pounds in a healthy way that I can. And what is it that motivates me to do this after several years of failure? Clean water to people that don't have it.

Every week, millions of women and their children walk more than 14 miles just to get water for their families. Most of this water is contaminated, but it's the only water they have. They take the chance of contracting deadly diarrheal diseases with every sip. There's nothing they can do to change this.

So, what can I do?

My mission is to raise $1,000 for water. I want every step to matter. I'm asking for pledges per pound or flat out donations to help achieve my goal.

The best part: 100% of everything we raise will go straight to building water projects in the field. Then, when the projects are complete, charity: water will show us just where they are and who they're helping (with GPS coordinates, photos and other details). We'll be able to see the communities we've impacted.

I hope you'll join me in helping now. Be radical for Jesus; He was radical for you!
