http://www.andymurray.com/news/article/649 Andy and David Beckham took centre stage at Wembley Stadium yesterday, to mark the launch of Malaria No More UK – a not-for-profit organisation committed to ending suffering and death caused by malaria, a preventable disease. Go to Malaria No More website! http://www.malarianomore.org.uk/ As members of the UK Leadership Council, Andy and Beckham drew attention to the importance of mosquito nets with the help of the largest tennis net in the world - all 68 metres of it - made out mosquito net fabric, and stretched across the Wembley pitch. The two of them playing a mixture of football and tennis across the net highlighted the very simple point that whilst malaria threatens half of the world’s population, it's preventable and treatable: blanketing Africa with mosquito nets is one of the most simple and effective ways to help prevent the spread of malaria and yields life-saving results from a disease that kills one child every 30 seconds, and more children under five than any other disease. If you're anxious to see Andy taking free-kicks, and Beckham serving some tennis balls, we'll have clips and pictures in the next few days! Together, Andy and Beckham are campaigning to raise awareness about malaria, starting with that simple message that for just ￡5 a bed net can be bought, transported and delivered to a family in Africa, so protecting a mother and child or brother and sister against malaria for up to five years.Their ultimate goal is to ensure all those at risk of malaria in Africa have access to a bed net by the end of 2010. Andy said: “It’s great that we’re here to help with the campaign and make a difference. Malaria is preventable. The suffering and deaths it causes are so unnecessary especially because it is so cheap to make a difference – just ￡5 to protect a family for up to five years.” Beckham said: “By creating awareness we can really make a difference. Days like today are so important. It’s a real honour and a privilege for both Andy and me to get behind Malaria No More. When I went over to Sierra Leone as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, I saw the devastation that many diseases cause, but malaria is the biggest single killer for children under five. The statistics are really frightening.” In recent years countries such as Rwanda, Ethiopia and Eritrea have successfully used bed nets, insecticides and access to medicines to cut malaria deaths by over 50%. Sarah Kline, Executive Director, Malaria No More UK says: “We are thrilled that David and Andy have so generously given up their time to raise awareness about malaria. They are two of the world’s biggest names in sport and it is fantastic that they want to help us end suffering and deaths from malaria.” 官網圖庫有五張圖 http://www.andymurray.com/gallery/image/12772/243712 這邊圖比較多 http://tinyurl.com/c6583r 這裡也有 http://tinyurl.com/ccmsf4 Where is Andy?: London -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.171.168.86
