London, Oct 31 (ANI): John Mayer has urged his fans to contribute money to provide anti-malaria nets for families in third world countries in a bid to help poverty-stricken kids lead healthy lives.
The rocker has filmed a new public service announcement (PSA) for the ‘MalariaNoMore’ charity.
It aims to finish the disease and protecting from mosquito by providing nets.
“Almost a million people a year die of malaria, and out of that number 85 per cent die under the age of Justin Bieber,” the Daily Star quoted Mayer as saying in the film.
“With your help, by buying a mosquito net for just 10 dollars 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,” he said. (ANI)
