My 25th birthday is almost here! Each year I'm extremely grateful to have lived another healthy, happy, and safe life. This year, I hope to bring a bit more health, happiness, and safety to someone else's life - and I hope you will help me do that.

Did you know that almost a billion people on the planet don’t have access to clean drinking water? And, every day, 5,000 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.

This year for my birthday, I'm asking for my age in dollars. If I can get 20 friends and family to donate $25, together we can bring clean water to at least 20 people who need it.

Every penny of the money raised will directly fund clean water projects in developing countries. Even better, charity: water will show us exactly which projects we funded once they've been fully completed (which takes about 18 months). That means we'll know the locations and names of the communities we helped.

So...
First, watch the video below to learn more about the water crisis.
Second, explore this website to learn more about charity: water.
Finally, help me reach my goal by my birthday (August 2)!

Thanks for checking out this page, and please donate to my birthday campaign!
