Clean, accessible water changes lives fundamentally.

For years, I've been donating my birthday to fundraising to bring clean water to communities around the world through Charity:Water.

Women and children reclaim the daytime hours they would have spent hauling water, and can care for themselves, their communities, and can get educated instead.

Families stay healthier because they're not fighting water-borne diseases.

Will you help me get clean water to 100 people for my birthday? If you'd buy me a drink or two at the pub for my birthday, would you instead give that money to a lifetime of change for someone else?

Boilerplate with important details:

Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me.

Please donate to my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help.

100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.
