Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. 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.

This year, for my birthday, in lieu of presents, please donate to my campaign. Join me in helping charity: water build these types of projects around the world.-- anything you can give is a huge help.

100% of the money you donate will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.

I'm might no longer be on staff, but I still believe in the mission to provide clean water to everyone on the planet.
