Why Mark Smithson is fundraising for clean water

Every day, 1,400 kids under the age of 5 die from water-related illnesses. Let's help change that!

My birthday is almost here. I'm not usually excited about getting older, but this year I'm really grateful to have lived another happy, healthy year. I recently learned that millions of kids around the world don't live to see their fifth birthday because they don't have access to clean, safe drinking water. We can help change that.

This year, instead of gifts, dinners or even drinks I'm asking for a small donation. Every penny of the money raised will directly fund clean water projects in developing countries. Even better, charity: water will show us the locations and names of the communities we helped.

Help me reach my goal and start 2015 by making a real difference. Please donate to my birthday campaign!
Thank you.

Mark
