Running for bed nets

On October 16th I will be running 100km in the Taupo Ultramarathon. Inspired by the Effective Altruism movement, I am raising money for the Against Malaria Foundation which provides bednets primarily in sub-saharan Africa. I have chosen the AGF because:

1) They are incredibly effective with between $3000-$5000USD preventing one death from Malaria

2) Their effectiveness is backed by high quality evidence with randomized control trials and recommended by Givewell

3) The burden of Malaria is huge with 400,000 deaths every year which could be prevented with more well-funded prevention programmes
