Yep.... I'm turning the big 3-0 and this year for my birthday I'm foregoing gifts, and asking friends and family to donate $30 for my 30th. My goal is to help at least 30 people get clean water for my 30th, and I'd love your help getting there.

So many of you have been unbelievably supportive of me and my charity: water campaigns over the years, and I love seeing the impact of our donations time and time again. The water crisis is solvable and I know together we can end it in our lifetime.

There are 663 million people around the world living without access to clean water and 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.

Thanks for all the kind birthday wishes and taking the time to check out my 30 for 30 birthday campaign. All donations no matter how big or small will make a big difference -- anything you can give is a huge help.

100% of the money 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.
