London:
Singer John Mayer has urged his fans to donate money to provide anti-malaria nets for families in third world countries so that poverty-ridden kids can fight the mosquito-borne disease.
The rocker has filmed a new public service announcement for the MalariaNoMore charity, which will stampout the deadly disease by supplying protective sheets to ward off mosquitoes, reported Daily Star online.
To propagate the campaign among young people, the 33-year-old singer is urging viewers to help affected kidslive longer and insisted if the scheme is a success future age targets will include those of the Jonas Brothers andTwilight star Robert Pattinson.
"Almost a million people a year die of malaria, and out of that number 85 per cent die under the age of JustinBieber. With your help, by buying a mosquito net for just $10 we can help - by the end of the year - to get to Bieber. Next year, we'll go Jonas Brothers. After that, Twilight kids. But baby steps," said the singer.
