UPDATE: The team at Charity: Water have told me that my campaign will be directed at India specifically. I am loving this as India is not only on top of my list to explore and discover it is also a quickly emerging marketing, advertising, and technology hub; quite fitting don't you think?

UPDATE: We have raised enough to help 100 people in just under 24 hours, which is nothing more than amazing. How much higher can we go?!

This year I'm celebrating my birthday differently. I don't want presents or drinks. I want clean water!

People all around the world walk hours every day to collect water for their families. And the worst part? The water they collect often makes them really sick. Terrible right? Well, we can actually do something about it. Just $37 (my age come August 31st in dollars) is more than enough to give a person clean water to drink for a lifetime.

The best part is that 100% of the money we raise will directly fund water projects around the world, and when those projects are complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the impact we made. I may even decide to go help them, in person, on one of these projects. I can't think of a better birthday gift, so please donate to my campaign, and make this my best birthday ever!

I'm asking for my age in dollars from everyone I know -- > $37. Every penny of the money raised will directly fund clean water projects in developing countries.

Help me reach my goal. Please donate to my birthday campaign!
