Every day, 1,400 kids under the age of 5 die from water-related illnesses. Let's help change that!

My birthday is around the corner. I don't usually ask for presents, and this year is no exception, but I desire to make a difference in the world and this year I decided to use my birthday as a way to manifest that desire. So, I'm asking all my friends and family to help me make that difference, if it is in their pleasure, by donating to charity: water and giving clean water to people who need it.

Did you know that almost a billion people on the planet don't have access to clean drinking water? Every day, 1,400 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.

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 YOUR DONATION will go directly to people in need.

Please help me make this birthday my best ever -- donate to my campaign! And together we can make a difference.
