Dad makes Bryce Harper pancake for kids and clean water charity

Brady Phelps is proof that none of us really knows how we might be able to impact the world around us until we give it a try.

Somewhere along the way Phelps turned the relatively simple skill of making pancakes for his kids, 5 and 3, into an art form by designing that day's breakfast to look like a famous person or something else his kids requested.

He recently began doing this to help support his passion for providing clean water to millions of people around the world who don't have it and the latest creation is a stellar rendering of Washington Nationals star Bryce Harper.

Phelps is taking requests. All you have to do is donate $100 to his clean water cause and he's happy to make you a pancake modeled after anyone or anything. He'll even film it and send you a link to the video. Donate $1,000 and he'll make you your chosen pancake and video and then send it to you, presumably, overnight.

As of Thursday afternoon, Phelps had raised more than $34,000 toward his initial $50,000 goal.
