Every day, 5,000 kids under the age of 5 die from water-related illnesses. I'm gonna help change that!

I'm not quite sure what it will feel like to be 22, but I'm hoping that it will feel a lot like helping people! I have decided to start making positive changes in my life and the way that I hope to do that is to start helping other people.

Did you know that almost a billion people on the planet don’t have access to clean drinking water? Every day, 5,000 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 all public donations will go directly to people in need.

Help me make this birthday my best ever -- donate to my campaign! Here's cheers to 22 :)
