I recently became involved in helping to prevent people from dying of malaria. I will be fasting on May 11th with millions of other people to help bring this cause to the world's attention. I ask that you, too, consider fasting and, more importantly, that you sponsor me for this event. You might not know that malaria is a completely preventable disease, and yet, every year it kills between one million and three million children worldwide. This is more than AIDS and cancer combined. Not only does malaria kill children unnecessarily, but it is also kills adults and is the worst killer of mothers. Together, we can change this. We lead privileged lives and too often forget about others who are not as fortunate as we are. However, what happens to one person happens to all of us. We can do something about this, and I ask you to help me get rid of this disease. 100% of the money you donate will go directly to buying bed nets that will protect children and their families while they sleep. That's how easy it is to start preventing malaria. It's also easy to donate. Just go to www.worldswimformalaria.com/Samona. Once the fast is over, this site will even tell you where the nets that you helped purchase were distributed and by whom. Thank you so much for helping me and all the people suffering from malaria. I really appreciate it.
