Hi everybody!

I'd love to raise money for this important cause. I'm choosing to do it by not eating, not even Rad Baron Frozen Four Cheese Pizza (so you know I mean business).

This is truly important and I would love for you to consider joining me in fasting on Friday, October 17 and/or making a donation to fasters who are fighting against malaria.

I fasted for this cause in 2006 and through your very kind donations, we were able to purchase 80 malaria nets! And, ever the planner, I only gave you two days' notice. So, NOW, with a whopping 9 (yes, 9!) days, let's go for even more nets, like 300. Why not?

Here's why it's important to me:

I was fortunate enough to live in Angola in Summer 1999. I met little children with orange hair and distended bellies. It was all so horrifically for-a-cup-of-coffee-a-day, except it was real and they weren't all crying and miserable-looking. They were giggling and their eyes were shining; you know, like KIDS.

I can bet that more than half of those kids I met are not around anymore. Like most developing nations, to live past age five is an against-the-odds ordeal. Between malnutrition, diarrhea (from dehydration), imminently curable childhood diseases (people still die from measles?!) and malaria; these kids could use a hand. Let's help them buck the system just a little bit by kicking in some cash for bednets (at least we can help out with some malaria prevention).

Why it's a great deal:

100% of the donations go directly to buying bednets
Bednets are only $5 apiece
Think of the impact $20 can make...or even $5

Strapped for cash? Maybe pledge to swim or go a day without food...and tell others why.

Thanks so much for considering doing this--especially in a political season when you are being asked to give so much already.

LOVE,
Emily
