There are 800 MILLION people living on this magnificent planet without access to clean water. Let's change that!!!

Well, it’s that time of year again. I’m almost 20 years old, and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate my second decade on Earth than helping those in need. -- In honour of my Birthday I am asking my friends and family to donate to Charity: Water and give access to clean water to the people who need it.

Did you know that almost a BILLION people on this planet do not have access to clean drinking water? Every day, 5,000 children die from water-related illnesses before they even 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.

100% of every dollar you donate to my birthday campaign will be used to build clean water projects in developing countries. charity: water funds their operating costs separately through a group of private donors, so 100% of all public donations will go directly to people in need.

Help me make this birthday, and this campaign my best ever -- donate now and relish in the joy of changing lives!
