(NAPSI) - In the 90 minutes it takes to play a soccer match, 180 people die of malaria.

Determined to win the fight against this deadly disease, a global partnership of soccer teams and heroes, celebrities, health and advocacy organizations, governments and corporations have teamed up to kick malaria.

United Against Malaria, a campaign created ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, uses the popularity of soccer to raise awareness and renew worldwide commitment to ending malaria.

Notable names who have already pledged support include Landon Donovan, Ashley Judd, Anna Kournikova, Mandy Moore, Molly Sims, Rick Reilly and Ted Turner.

Every 30 seconds, a child dies of malaria. With your help, United Against Malaria can change the course of this disease. Join the team and sign the campaign soccer ball at www.UnitedAgainstMalaria.org.
