On March 7th, I'm turning 32. And this year, I'm giving my birthday up in the hopes that I can raise even a little awareness of this huge need.

If you're reading this, I'm asking if you'd consider giving $32 or more to build freshwater wells for people in developing nations.

A billion people in the world are living without clean water - but how much are they really living? Millions contract deadly diseases from contaminated water. 45,000 people will die this week alone. The lucky ones won't, but still walk hours each day to get dirty water to give to their families.

My birthday wish this year is not for more gifts I don't need; it's to give clean and safe drinking water to some of the billion living without it. I want to make my birthday matter this year.

Please join me.
