Menssage of Gary Barlow

Hello from Uganda, Together with four of the team who climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in March, I've come back to Africa to see how the money we helped to raise is being spent. We knew when we were doing the climb that the cash would do some good - but we had no idea just how much could be achieved. Here in Uganda Malaria kills more children than any other disease. Often bitten as they sleep, the young ones are defenceless against the mosquitoes that carry it.
Over the past 48 hours we've helped to give out almost 14,000 mosquito nets - every one of them paid for by Red Nose Day cash. Thousands of people, the vast majority of them parents, walked for miles in blistering heat to collect their nets and the atmosphere was amazing, almost like a carnival - all that was missing was the waltzers! And that's just the start of it - over the coming months 1.5 million people will be given protection in total, across an area the size of Northern Ireland. That's what you call making a real impact - and it all starts with someone like you supporting our challenge to climb Kili. So thank you and take it from me, the money you gave couldn't be spent any better than it is.
Love Gary,
