On November 6th, I'm turning 30. (yes i'm an old foot)

At first, this seemed surreal, even daunting. I'm an athlete, and i'm getting old.
My friends usually don't know what to buy for me, because I already have so much stuff.

But then I found out that millions of people don't live to see their 5th birthday. And why? Because they didn't have access to clean, safe water.

So I'm not scared of turning 30 anymore. In fact, I'm celebrating my birthday like never before. And now i know what to ask for - One dollar for every year of my life!

I'm asking for $30 from everyone I know - and every penny of the money raised will go directly to fund freshwater wells in developing nations. Even better, every dollar is "proved" when the projects are complete, and photos and GPS coordinates are posted using Google Earth.

My goal is to raise $3,000 by my birthday, November 6th, and hopefully raise up to $10,000 overall, helping over 300 people that need it much more than we do.

Please consider helping me.
