On January 6th I'm turning 21.

I don't need anything. I have an amazing family and wonderful friends, I'm going to a fantastic school and best of all... I drink clean water EVERY DAY.

1 in 8 people in the world don't have access to clean and safe drinking water.

All I want for my birthday is $21. I'm asking for $21 or more 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.

Honestly, I was expecting to consume a decent amount of alcohol on my 21st birthday. BUT... if you help me raise $5,000, I'll stay sober. Yep... SOBER on my 21st.

I'm keeping this short so the majority will read it but please contact me if you have ANY questions about charity:water and the struggle people face everyday to find undrinkable water.

Thank you for reading and please consider being a part of my birthday wish!
