THANK YOU ALL! We raised a total of $2235 for Charity: Water and $650 (and still counting: http://bit.ly/5fIEH6 to donate) for Partners in Health to support rescue efforts in Haiti.
We also heard from great stories of projects started, people served and other charities supported in the name of being awesome.
It was a truly amazing birthday and I am incredibly grateful to all of you.
Given the tragedy in Haiti, my earnest birthday (Thursday Jan 21) wish is simply: be #AWESOME. Support ANY charity of YOUR choice. Charity:Water works through both Concern and PIH in Haiti, but create the thing YOU want to create in the world.
In BOSTON? Join us 1/21 for the @wellwishes finale party http://14t.me/69crpM

Last year we asked "What can $2 do?" and thousands banded together to raise $25k for Charity:Water.
We're collecting donations again this year, but we're also rallying teams to build their own wells...
DARE TO BE #AWESOME!! It's easy:
1. create a campaign at http://mycharitywater.org
2. include the word WELLWISHES in your campaign title
3. rally social media contacts, friends, coworkers and family - tell them that together, YOU'RE going to provide safe water for an entire village.
Lack of safe drinking water claims 5,000 children's lives EVERY day. 1 in 6 people worldwide don't have this basic human right. That lack leads to death, violence, oppression of women, disease, children being pulled from school, environmental problems and even wars.
Just $20 billion - 5% of the $400 billion Americans spend each holiday season, would SOLVE THE WATER PROBLEM.
Happy Birthday Laura
Upping the ante...
Happy Birthday, Laura!
