Twitter challenge supports Malaria No More
Ryan Seacrest joined Ashton Kutcher and CNN in donating 10,000 mosquito nets following the race to 1,000,000 followers between @aplusk and @CNNBRK.
RyanSeacrest: just spoke to larry king (@kingsthings), @CNNbrk is donating 10,000 mosquito nets. i will too. @iamdiddy are you in? what about you @oprah?
Ryan made his pledge after speaking with Larry King on this morning's show, new tweeter @oprah added her support a little later:
Oprah: @mrskutcher count me in for 20,thousand nets.
Great to see Twitter being used to help people like this! Ashton Kutcher sums it up in his tweet:
aplusk: So far we have saved the lives of 50K people this morning! Thank you @ryanseacrest @CNNBRK @Oprah change the world 140 at a time
If you want to donate nets, head over to www.MalariaNoMore.org. UK taxpayers making a personal donation may want to go through to the UK site so the charity can claim an extra 25% in Gift Aid from the government.
RyanSeacrest: been monitoring twitter and AMAZED by outpouring of donations, celebrity & otherwise. @aplusk, attention youve brought to this...invaluable.
