How much stuff do you get for your birthday that you truly didn't need, or even want?

As I turn 32, I've begun to realize that what I have is plenty. Especially when compared to the millions of people who do not even have the basic necessities of life.

There are millions of people right now who must spend hours each day merely collecting water -- water that is not healthy or clean, water that makes them sick. And it doesn't take much from us to make a huge difference in their lives.

So this year, I'm asking for everyone I know to donate my age in dollars to help give people in developing countries access to clean drinking water. That's just 32 bucks. If I can find 100 people to help, we'll reach our goal. If 157 people help, we'll have enough for the average cost of an entire project!

The best part: 100% of all donations go directly toward water projects. And about 18 months after this campaign ends, charity: water will show us where and how every dollar we raised ended up helping in the field. We'll see GPS coordinates, photos and more details about the communities we've impacted.

Please join me.
