LOS ANGELES, April 26 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A Public Service Announcement featuring David Beckham of Real Madrid urges soccer fans to donate $10, the cost of one mosquito net, towards the fight against malaria. Malaria kills over 3,000 children every day in Africa, yet the disease can be easily prevented with a $10 mosquito net. In the announcement, David Beckham kicks a soccer ball into a goal with a missing net. The PSA closes "We need nets" and points viewers towards MalariaNoMore.org.
The PSA is also viewable at http://www.malarianomore.org/.
This follows on the heels of Major League Soccer taking on malaria as an issue. David Beckham will become a MLS player with the Los Angeles Galaxy in July.
