On June 19th, I'm turning 33, and I'm celebrating my birthday like never before.

Millions of people don't live to see their 5th birthday. Why? Because they didn't have access to clean, safe water.

In celebration of my birthday, and in gratitude for the many blessings I've been given, I'm asking for a donation 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.

My goal is to raise $250 within three months of my birthday.

I had the privilege of meeting the founder of charity:water and getting to know his mission. This is an incredible organization, doing excellent work. I'm proud to support them, and to kick off my campaign, I just donated the first $33 dollars. Donate $1, or $10, or $1000, or $1 million and see how easy it is to change the world.

Thanks, friends!
