Around the world, 780 million men, women and children need access to safe water. This negatively impacts their health, keeps children from attending school, and traps millions of people in a cycle of poverty. This all changes when solutions to access safe water are implemented.

I know there are a lot of worthy charities out there. I’ve created my own fundraiser for Water.org because I believe safe water is necessary for life. The water crisis is something I feel I can help solve. I hope you agree by giving whatever amount you can to support my efforts.

For every $25 that I raise, Water.org can give someone access to safe water for life. Co-founded by Matt Damon and Gary White, Water.org has been helping people develop sustainable solutions for more than 20 years. Together, we can change lives with safe water.

Here's my challenge: Be a hero and help me raise $1000.00 to provide safe water for life for 40 people. Give whatever amount you want. Even if you can't afford to donate, spread the word about this fundraiser however you can. Even a little thing like sharing it on your Facebook wall or re-tweeting it will go a long way to making lasting change in the world.
