| The United Nations Foundation's Nothing But Nets is a global, grassroots effort to save lives by preventing malaria, a leading killer of children in Africa. Every 30 seconds a child dies from malaria, but they wouldn't have to if they slept under insecticide-treated nets to protect them from malaria-carrying mosquitoes that bite at night. One bed net costs just $10 to purchase and deliver to individuals in need, as well as to educate families on their proper use. Malaria kills. Nets save lives. Visit www.NothingButNets.net to send a net and save a life. |

| St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in finding cures and saving children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. Founded by late entertainer Danny Thomas and based in Memphis, Tenn., St. Jude freely shares its discoveries with scientific and medical communities around the world.

| Diabetes is striking more and more children at earlier ages - and while it can be treated, there is no cure. Each day a child with diabetes must take multiple insulin shots or wear a mechanical insulin pump. Each day a child with diabetes must stick their finger - multiple times with a needle to measure blood sugars levels. If they don't manage their disease they can face a host of medical problems in their future - and that's a lot to face for a kid and their family. At Childrens Hospital Los Angeles Comprehensive Childhood Diabetes Center our goal is to help our patients' live happy, full and productive lives - like Nick. YOU can make a difference in the lives of these children! |
