Dear friends and family,

I'm going to be running my first 5k race this summer. I want to use this race as a catalyst for making the world a better place and I need your help. Water.org is a committed organization that has studied the water crisis and found innovative ways to help—their efforts don't just put a bandaid on the problem, they create lasting change for the people and communities they work with across the globe.

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 we can help solve together.

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.

I'll be running on Saturday, July 12, but the fundraiser will still be open for another month, until the 12th of August. Please donate whatever you can. Thank you!
