Nothing But Nets - Rick Reilly in Africa
Email | Digg! Digg | Del.icio.us

In his latest Sports Illustrated column Rick Reilly reports on his trip to Nigeria to distribute the first round of anti-malaria bed nets, bought from money raised by the Nothing But Nets campaign.

According to Reilly, the nets have had an immediate impact on the health and well being of some communities. "One hospital in Nigeria," writes Reilly, "is saying that since the nets went up, outpatient cases of malaria have dropped from 80 a month to 50."

The nets work. Help spread the word.
