Why Gunnar Thor Hjalmarsson is fundraising for clean water

Hello friends!

No presents this year, I've given my birthday to charity:water.

Almost a billion people on the planet don’t have access to clean drinking water. One in eight people drinks water that's likely to make them sick. For 20 dollars, you can give one person clean, safe drinking water - it's a bargain. But whatever amount you're willing to give would be greatly appreciated!

Please watch the (amazing) video to learn more. (in case it doesn't work: http://vimeo.com/6202666)

To make this more interesting:
1) I'm matching the first 1.000 dollars.
2) If 1.000 dollars are reached, I'm racing the Reykjavik Olympic distance Triathlon this summer.

Thanks!
