Why Steve Woloshin is fundraising for clean water

November 29th. 2012 was my 51st birthday. As it turned out, I had an amzing opportunity to hear about charity:water on my birthday. I found out that millions of people don't live to see their fifth birthdays. And why? Because they don't have access to clean, safe water. This really made me rethink about how special it is to turn 51.

So I'm celebrating my birthday like never before.

I'm asking for $10 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 $5000 by the end of this year. - UPDATE: We HIT $5k on Monday 12/3. Thanks for all of the support!! Can we push this up to $8k? I say we go for it.

Please join me to make this birthday count.
