The Madness for Malaria Post
This week my group talked to Rob Mather the head of Madness for Malaria. He told us how he had gotten the idea to start the fund from watching a show on a poor crippled girl from Africa. He started by raising money for the girls with a few friends of his. He and his friends raised enough money to support the girl and her opperations for the rest of her life.Someone then asked him what he was going to fight for next, he then replied that it had to be a big global cause, preferably nothing to do with politics and something to do with medicine and disease. Madness for Malaria is a program that distributes malaria nets. These nets protect the people under them from catching malaria from the infected insects. At www.againstmalaria.com you can sponsr people to take part in certain events like fasting, running, and swimming. All the money you collect will go straight to the children in Africa. You can sponser me at www.againstmalaria.com by typing in my name in the box intitled particapants. My name will show up and you can click on it and choose the amount you want to spend.
