On Sept 7th, I'm turning a year older. And this year, I'm sharing my birthday (party is Sat. Sept. 10th) with charity: water to help bring clean drinking water to people in need.

charity: water is also celebrating their fifth birthday on Sept 7th,(so we have the same 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 giving up my birthday gifts and asking for $25 or MORE from everyone I know. 100% of the money will fund the equipment to drill wells for people in northern Ethiopia. I have two friends who are personally going to Ethiopia to help with this project and a friend who went last year too!!!

That's not all -- charity: water will mount a GPS device to 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.

Please join me in appreciating the clean,clear beautiful water we have @ my pool party! And Dive in to this amazing cause. We need to get clean Water, Water EVERYWHERE! See you all Sept 10TH.
