Why James May is fundraising for clean water

Hello friends!

You may or may not have heard me utter the phrase "How many wells?!" when I hear about people spending their money completely frivolously, and what I mean by that is how many wells could that person have helped build/how many lives could they have helped save if they had instead invested in building a well for people in need in developing countries.

This year, instead of buying me a birthday present, or a drink, or a card, think "How many wells could I buy if I nstead donated that money to charity". Trust me, you helping save lives will mean WAAAAAAY more to me than some card I'm going to throw away in a week.

My brother, David May, our friend, Kyle Horst, and I started raising money for Charity Water about a year ago and have thus raised $1464. Please help us reach our goal of $5000 by donating any small amount. If all of my friends on facebook donated just $5 each, we'd build an entire well ourselves. It doesn't take much, and any little bit helps.

As Avenue Q says, "When you help others, you can't help helping yourself"!

Thanks!
