David Beckham was one of several sports stars on hand at 10 Downing Street yesterday to launch an international anti-malaria campaign, with Andy Murray, Denise Lewis and prime minister Gordon Brown.
Malaria No More UK is dedicated to raising awareness about malaria and is working hard to provide netting for beds so that children and families can sleep safely and soundly. Only £5 can purchase a bed net and protect a family from malaria. Their ultimate goal is to ensure everyone at risk for malaria has a bed net by the year 2010.
David will sit on the Leadership Council for the non-profit. At the official launch, David and the other sports stars, including tennis star Andy Murray, played tennis and football with the world’s largest tennis net, spanning 100 feet and made out of blue mosquito netting.
“It’s truly incredible to think we can stop this killer disease forever and it’s such a simple thing to do,” David said. “For less than a cost of a football you can protect a family from dying.”
