Friends, with my birthday only a few days away I ask you this: take that drink money and let's help build something

My birthday is almost here. Duh. It's the same time every year. And like last year I'm hoping you'll join me try making a positive difference. This is a great charity (and one that lets you know exactly where your money is going and where these wells are being drilled the world over)! You can literally check maps in real time showing where a clean water source has come up thanks to our efforts. So I ask that instead of a drink, help me reach my goal. Any amount that you're comfortable with, anything at all - even a positive message or reading up about global issues - helps. Thank you all in advance.

Some of you have heard me say this, or not, but it's a good motto either way: "We're all stories in the end. Make yours a good one." (The Doctor)

Thank you.

From the folks behind Charity:Water...
"Every penny of the money raised will directly fund clean water projects in developing countries. Even better, charity: water will show us exactly which projects we funded once they've been fully completed (which takes about 18 months). That means we'll know the locations and names of the communities we helped."
