All right guys -

I'm turning 26 at the end of this month (or rather, 21 for the 6th time!), and I figured this would be a good excuse to do something like this. I know we drink bottled water here like there's no tomorrow (in fact... I do have a handy case in my car) and we are blessed with having excellent tap water in the Bay Area, , but that's definitely not the case in most other places around the world.

So instead of buying me anything or saying hello on FB, think to donate to this campaign instead :)

I'm asking for my age in dollars from everyone I know. 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.

Help me reach my goal. Please donate to my birthday campaign!
