On June 24, 2013 I am turning 40....They say life begins at 40.....and I feel I have not made a difference in this world. Well that's about to change......!!

Clean water is a necessity of life which gives life to so many people around the world and helps grows economies based on the new UN study.

I am about to go on to raise $10K for clean water wells and I need my friends help. So I turn 40...and that in turn will give clean water to 500 people...hence 40 to 500!!

So I'm not scared of turning 40 anymore. In fact, I'm celebrating my birthday like never before.

I'm asking for $40 or more from everyone I know -- and every penny of the money raised will go directly to fund clean water projects in developing nations. Even better, charity: water will show us exactly which projects we funded once they've been fully completed (which takes about 18 months). That means we'll be able to see the communities we've helped!

My goal is to raise $10,000 by my birthday, June 24th, 2013 and then head over to see these wells being drilled.

Please join me to make this birthday count!!.
