Activating Bill Gates

That Gates Foundation is providing a staggering $258.3 million in grants to help find ways to prevent and treat malaria. More than a quarter-billion dollars? Wow. I'm ashamed that I know who won the last five Ironman Hawaii races but had no idea that malaria kills 1.2 million people a year—the majority of them African children under the age of six. Bill Gates, for an amazing act of philanthrophy, you have been Activated.
