Why Ru Ru is fundraising for clean water

Ive had some wonderful opportunities in my life so far, and have been very fortunate to travel (my passion) meeting people from different countries, always keen to share their cultures, share everything they have.

After reading up on the project Mycharity: Water
I decided I would like to be a part of this, and im asking you to join me.

This year, I'm giving my birthday up. I'm turning 40, and instead of gifts, I'm asking for a donation of whatever you can manage, large or small.

Collectively, 100% of what we raise will go to building freshwater projects for people in developing nations. Every year millions contract deadly diseases from contaminated water. Many children walk for hours a day to get dirty water to give to their families, not getting a chance to go to school.

My birthday wish this year is not for more gifts; it's to give clean and safe drinking water to some of the billion living without it. I want to make my birthday matter this year.

Please join me.
