2012 has already proven to be one of my most exciting and wild years to date!

Two months ago, I left everything I knew in Florida and moved to NY with Mancel where I have the best job ever. I work for charity: water and am part of an awesome team that brings clean drinking water to people in need in developing countries. Water is one of life's most basic needs, that we all take for granted, but almost 800 million people don't have access to it.

I figured I'd keep the tradition of excitement going for this year and give up my birthday. As you all know-I LOVE birthdays. Especially mine :). But this year instead of a huge party or wanting gifts (Mancel-this isn't meant for you!), I would love you to become a supporter of charity: water. Our organization will send 100% of your gift overseas and you'll get to see your dollars in action in about 18 months with photos and GPS coordinates.

I'd love you to consider a gift of $29 or $290 in honor of my age. But, of course, will gladly accept any gift you're able to give.:)

Thanks so much for whatever role you play in my life and for supporting both me and charity: water.

Love you all!
