Most of us don't know what it's like to live without water at our fingertips. We are lucky enough to have it as a standard part of our daily lives. However, many people in the world do not share that same luxury; almost 1 billion people in the world are currently living without access to clean water. 30,000 people will die this week alone.

June 11th is my 52nd birthday. Instead of gifts from my family and friends, I want us to band together to help those in need with life-saving access to clean water.

I urge all of you to watch the video to the right and understand how this amazing charity works. With your help, we can make a huge impact on the lives of those in need.

100% of all donations go directly toward water projects. 18 months after this campaign ends, Charity Water will show us where and how every dollar we raised ended up helping in the field. We'll see GPS coordinates, photos and more details about the communities we've impacted.

Together we can make a real difference. I hope you'll join me.
