Watch or set your DVRs to 8pm ET/PT tonight, when HBO premieres the original film Mary and Martha, telling the emotional story of two mothers’ battle against malaria. Oscar winner Hilary Swank and Oscar nominee Brenda Blethyn star as Mary and Martha, two women who bond over their shared experience with the disease.

Sportswriter Rick Reilly helped launch the Nothing But Nets campaign in 2006 with a column in Sports Illustrated. This World Malaria Day, he is teaming up with Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry like you’ve never seen them before to fight deadly malaria.

Every 60 seconds a child dies from malaria. Bed nets are a simple, cost-effective way to prevent children and families from being bitten by malaria-carrying mosquitoes while they sleep. To end malaria deaths in this generation, we need your help!

Nothing But Nets supporters have made a significant difference. Greater availability and use of malaria prevention tools and treatment over the past decade has saved more than 1 million lives, according to the World Health Organization.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this World Malaria Day a success. Thank you to everyone who has devoted time, effort, energy, or money to help protect families from malaria.

Malaria is preventable, treatable and curable. Yet it continues to have a devastating impact across Africa. For more than a decade, ExxonMobil has been working to help drive lasting change and build a better future for communities in the region by investing in the fight against malaria.

You did it! You helped send 20,525 life-saving bed nets to families across sub-Saharan Africa in honor of World Malaria Day.

Motherhood – from start to finish – is miraculous. For me, being a mom (I have a 2 1/2 year old and one on the way) is incredibly joyful, humbling, empowering, tiring and… frightening.

I was copied on a letter below that 11-year old Cooper sent to his idol, Stephen Curry, that demonstrates the fun spirit of the Nothing But Nets campaign and the fact that anyone can be a champion in the fight against malaria, whether you’re a 5th grader or the best basketball shooter on the planet.

Because of the generosity of so many of our caring supporters, we were able to exceed our ambitious World Malaria Day 20,000 net goal.
