I had the great privilege of attending an amazing leadership conference called Catalyst in Atlanta this past October. While there, I got to hear Scott Harrison, the founder of Charity:Water, speak with great passion and conviction about his organization and its mission.

I had done some research on Charity:Water prior to the event, but had never truly connected. When Scott told the story, however, I nearly melted. The vivid imagery of the amount of suffering that exists because of this problem was enough to wreck me.

At the end of the presentation, Scott asked us if we would pledge our birthdays to the cause. I was glad to oblige and have honestly been looking forward to this since that day.

Please give as you feel lead. Words can't describe the impact that we have the opportunity to make in 250 people's lives today. I hope you can be a part of that.

Thank you.
