On December 9th, i turn 34 years old.

I've always had life goals. Since i turned 30, i started riding it out, without much thought for goals, aside from career and material possessions.

But then 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.

Ever since attending our Tribal DDB APAC Summit 2011, Always On, i was very touched by many of the case studies we analyzed. "mycharity: water" was one of them. I truly believe that most of us take many things for granted.

That is why, i've decided to give up my 34th birthday specifically to this cause. And I've decided to make 34 mean so much more. Starting small, all i ask is that every cent that you have, that you would spend on things that aren't absolutely necessary, please donate it to my cause and help me raise a humble amount of $3,400 as the goal for mycharity: water.

Every cent 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 $3,400 during my birthday period (okay, i'll give it some time before and after) until December 31st, for a new hope, my charity: water.

Please join me to make my 34, mean so much more.
