On December 3rd, I'm turning 27. And this year, I'm sharing my birthday with charity: water to help bring clean drinking water to people in need.

charity: water is also celebrating their fifth birthday, and has already helped 2 million people get access to safe water. But this year, they want to accelerate their impact by purchasing a new drilling rig and the equipment it takes to dig even more wells for villages in need.

So to help, I'm trying hopefully, with the help of my community, to raise $2000 by my 27th birthday. 100% of the money will fund the equipment to drill wells for people in northern Ethiopia.

That's not all -- charity: water will mount a GPS device to the drilling rig we fund -- so we'll be able to follow it from village to village once the work gets under way!

Each drilling rig can help bring clean water to 80 new villages each year, and help 40,000 people get clean water. Join me and let's get the water flowing...
