Three of our UK board members, Richard Collier-Keywood, Ian Powell and Richard Sexton will be donning their thermal swimwear on 4 April and swimming The Serpentine as part of World Swim Against Malaria. They need your help to raise funds to fight the number one killer of children.

Results to date
PwC's involvement in World Swim 2005 had 2,500 PwC people participating in 18 countries. The US$175,000 raised bought 35,000 nets, protecting 70,000 (mainly) children. We now want to add to this and you can help!
Bednets
A simple US$5 bednet protects two children on average and can prevent mosquitos from killing one child in Africa every 30 seconds - that's the equivalent of seven jumbo jets full of children lost to malaria every day. We want to buy as many of these bednets as we can.
What you can do
We know many of you will be holding your own swims/events to raise funds, but if you are one of the people who would rather donate than participate, we hope you might consider sponsoring us in our Serpentine adventure.
Remember, 100% of your donation buys bednets, thanks to the pro bono support PwC and other organisation give to this Foundation.
Matched giving
The firm will also match your pledge (up to £250) through the Community Affairs Matched Giving programme. Finally, don't forget to tick the Gift Aid box!

Thank you for helping us to fight malaria.
