Malaria Nets Uganda - Day 1

In March this year nine celebrities undertook the mammoth challenge of climbing the mighty Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for Comic Relief.

Thanks to the support of the British public their incredible effort raised over £3.5 million, and next week five of the climbers will travel to Uganda to see for themselves how some of that money is helping to fight malaria, Africa's biggest killer.

Gary Barlow, Kimberley Walsh, Chris Moyles, Ben Shephard and Fearne Cotton are visiting Uganda assisting with the distribution of half a million mosquito nets, and witnessing how these simple items can help save lives.

Thats an incredible amount of nets for them to hand out, it will take them ages lol, still, its good to see exactly what the donation money was spent on & see some of the celebs return to help hand them out, even if they are a tad heavy for the girls to lift. I trust there is nothing wrong with the brakes on that truck as theres some considerable weight in the back of it. (rear wheels appear to be chocked), just a precaution i guess. Good luck for the rest of the expedition you guys :)
