Why Jeannine Seidl is fundraising for clean water

This Thanksgiving we're doing things a little differently. We are skipping the copious amounts of mashed potatoes and turkey and opting instead to spend the holiday with our Aunt Arctica and her plentiful pack of pet penguins.

We will be taking a 10-day cruise to Antarctica with stops in Buenos Aires and Ushuaia along the way.

Being 98% covered in ice that is on average 1 mile thick, Antarctica isn't short on water.

But for almost 800 million people on the planet, they don't have access to drinking water.

Just $20 can give someone access to clean, safe water, so we are taking the Thanksgiving spirit and giving back.

Our goal is to raise $700. charity: water uses 100% of the money to directly fund the water projects in the field.

Everyone loves a postcard from a far away place. Unfortunately, our Aunt Arctica lives awfully far from the post office so we will be sending super cool Postagrams (http://postagramapp.com/), a gnarly company that prints and mails postcards with custom photos to anyone you want, to anyone who helps us and this incredible cause.
Make a donation - get a Postagram from us in Antarctica!

Make a bigger donation ($50+) - we'll send you a hand written letter chronicling our adventures along with a Postagram.

Make a BIG donation ($100+) - we'll bring you back something special on top of the Postagram and letter full of adventures.

We've never actually been dying of thirst. I'm sure we'd all like to see a world where no one does.

Together, we can make a difference in the global water crisis. We hope you'll consider helping.

If you choose to donate, please send an email to Jeannine at jeannineseidl@gmail.com with your address so we can be sure our postagram and letter end up in your mail box!
