My personal message:

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! This December I am rowing solo across the Atlantic for safe drinking water. 

Every $30 I raise provides a lifetime of safe drinking water to another person. The positive effect does not stop there. It helps kids stay in school, allows women to start businesses, and keeps people out of hospitals.

Please help me reach my goal to raise $50,000 so we can help over 1,000 people gain access to safe drinking water worldwide. Remember, no effort is insignificant. This is an easy way to improve another person's life in big ways!

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to visit the website www.rowforwater.com for the latest news and updates.
