Someone very special to me told me about www.borninseptember.org. So this year I'm celebrating my birthday like never before.

After reading the website I found out that millions of people don't live to see their 5th birthday. And why? Because they didn't have access to clean, safe water.

I'm asking for $31 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 $2,500 by the end of September.

Please consider helping me.
