On October 3rd, I'm turning 29.

I used to hate turning another year older.
This time of year, I always question whether or not I’ve “accomplished” enough. “Who have I impressed this year” the voice in my head whispers. Clearly I have some first world problems...

A few months ago I found out that millions of people don't live to see their fifth birthdays... Because they don't have access to clean, safe water.

Women and children in Rwanda walk for hours every day, up and down mountains, just to collect water from rivers. And the worst part? The water they collect can make them really sick.
Crazy right? Well, we can actually do something about it. Just $65 can give someone in Rwanda clean water.

So I'm asking everyone for my age in donations. Give $29 and help me give life's most basic need.

The best part is that 100% of the money we raise will directly fund water projects in the Rwanda, and when those projects are complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the impact we made.

This year, I don’t want more stuff, and I can't think of a better birthday gift. Join me!
