Most of us have never had to worry about having access to clean, drinkable water; but, the fact is that 1 billion people live without it every day.

In honor of my turning 27, please help me reach my goal of providing at least 50 people (or 10 families of 5) with clean drinking water by the end of this year.

Charity:Water tracks every dollar of your contribution and will send each of us photos and GPS coordinates of the water project that we are funding together. 100% of each donation goes directly to the water project - None of it goes to administrative costs or fees! I'm committing to match 20% of donations received until the goal is reached.

Dirty water kills more people every year than all forms of violence, including war... But it doesn't have to!

Thank you for your support. I can't wait to see what will result when so many great people come together for an even greater cause!

10/22 Update: Thanks to many generous friends we've almost reached 40% of the goal! Every little bit counts.. Gracias! :)

12/14 Update: With a few weeks ago, we've passed 60% of the goal.. We're getting closer! Thank you!

01/09 - Thanks so much to everyone who helped reach the goal.. I am blessed to know such generous and kind people!! May we all continue to pay it forward this year!
