35. Thirty five. That’s how many years I’ve been circling the sun. Which mind you is not that many. But it is enough to know that helping people gain access to clean water is important.

So this year we’re doing somethings a little different for my birthday campaign:
1) it’s only going to be one month long!
2) anyone who donates >$35 gets a piece of original pen and ink art (it will be minimalist and abstract check out my Instagram for an example)

This is a sprint, so spread the word, donate now instead of later and let’s do some good this Christmas time of year.

Now here are some more detailed words about the clean water crisis in the world in case you need some persuasion for yourself or others:

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.

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me.

Please donate to my campaign -- 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.
