Simply put, malaria kills. Nets can save lives. You can help here AND can earn a chance to win one of 2 $100 Visa gift cards to offset the expense of the holiday season.

Fact: Malaria is preventable, but causes more than 200 million illnesses each year and kills nearly 1 million of those who become infected.

Fact: Ninety percent of deaths caused by malaria occur in Africa, where the disease is a leading killer of children.

Fact: Every 45 seconds a child in Africa dies from malaria.

It just so happens that a couple of fellas from OUR community are doing some things in a couple African communities as seen here: http://dsc.discovery.com/tv-shows/jungle-gold/about-the-show/about-the-show.htm and I figured this was a prime example to step in and *try* to make a difference.

Want to help? Let's raise funds. Let's buy the mosquito nets these villages need for a brighter 2013.

Need a tiny bit more encouragement? HealthEquity, a Utah-based company - http://www.healthequity.com/ is providing two $100 Visa gift cards as incentive. For every $5 you donate, you'll receive ONE entry into a drawing for one of these gift cards. Drawing to be held on December 24th and facilitated with random.org
