For Adam Lambert's 29th birthday, he has requested fans make a donation to charity: water to help bring water to people around the world. It's a really worthy cause, so even if you're not a fan of Adam's but you're looking for a good cause to support please check it out. :o)

Info from the fan club:
The charity: water organization was formed four years ago with the goal to help bring clean, safe drinking water to developing nations. To date they've funded 3,811 water projects across the world, providing water for 1,742,331 people in 17 countries. In the four years since inception, charity: water also has raised more than $22 million to run their organization, launch educational campaigns and fund their water projects.
Clean, safe drinking water. It's something that a lot of us take for granted, but almost 1 billion people on the planet (1 in 8 of us) don't have access to it.
Unsafe water and lack of sanitation causes 80% of all diseases and kills more people than all forms of violence - including war. It's also responsible for the claiming the lives of 4,500 children per day.
It's a staggering statistic, especially when you find out $20 can give one person access to safe and clean water for 20 years.
That's why we'd like to encourage you to make a simple donation instead of sending Adam birthday gifts.
