Why Erik Rachelle is fundraising for clean water

On October 22, 2011, I turned 2.

At this age I really don't appreciate gifts.

My mom told me that millions of people don't live to see their fifth birthdays. And why? Because they don't have access to clean, safe water.

She also told me of her friend Samantha Paul and her amazing daughter Rachel. She told me of Rachels gift to this world even though her life was cut tragically short. Rachel was only 9 but moved mountains. I'm only 2 but I can sure do something!

I'm asking for $2 or $20 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 $200 by my birthday party, December 2, 2011.

Please join me to make this birthday count.

Love,

Landon Alston

    Landon, you don't know me, but Diandra had been sweet enough to contribute to my friend Bella's campaign and I wanted to return to favor to someone else. It is called paying it forward, and as you get older, you will see that there are many amazing spirits in the world, but with us and all around us. Rachel is one of those, and you have a community of pretty amazing ones clearly around you still. The sum represents your upcoming birthday, added with my one which occurs on Nov. 18th. Have a blessed life! jtp.
