I don't need anything for my birthday. But 800 million people worldwide need clean water.

For four years, I helped organize the Denton Water Walk to raise money for charity: water. Now, I'm dedicating my birthday to that same end. Help me say goodbye to my 20s by giving me the best gift I can think of: joining me in my goal. Millions of kids around the world don't live to see their fifth birthday because they don't have access to clean, safe drinking water. I'd like them to live to see their 30th as well.

So give $30 in honor of my 30th, or give whatever you're able. Every penny of the money raised will directly fund clean water projects in developing countries. Even better, charity: water will show us exactly which projects we funded once they've been fully completed (which takes about 21 months). That means we'll know the locations and names of the communities we helped. And right now, Keurig Green Mountain will match your donation.

May God bless you and your neighbor through you!
