I usually don't say much about my birthday, and prefer to keep it low-key. But this year, I feel particular lucky on many levels, so I'd like to reach out and proactively ask you all to celebrate my birthday - by donating for a cause.

charity:water helps bring clean, safe drinking water to children who don't have easy access to water. 100% of the raised money goes directly to clean water projects (and I get to see exactly which project gets the funds).

If you feel so inclined, please donate to my birthday campaign! Any amount is great!
