This year, on my 33rd birthday. I didn't want another party. I didn't want presents, or drinks in a loud bar. I didn't really want it to be about me at all.

What did I want? I wanted to do something together -- with You -- to help some of the almost a billion people in the world who don't have access to clean water.

I wanted to raise $5,000. That's the average cost of a new water project to supply clean, pure, life-giving water to 250 people who desperately need it.

So I started this campaign. And it's still going. Please consider giving $33, or whatever you're able. More would be great, but even $5 helps. And when your birthday rolls around, if you want to give it up for charity: water, let me know. I'll be the first to chip in.
