2011 Pedal for Nets  Aug. 14-17  Pedal for Nets is an annual
charity bike ride along Colorado’s Front Range. The ride will
take cyclists on a great 3 day, 160 mile loop through Longmont,
Windsor, Estes Park before ending back in Longmont.  Why ride?
Malaria is a deadly mosquito-borne disease that affects millions
each year in Africa and around the world. Nearly one million
people die from malaria each year, mostly children younger than
five years old. Just one $12 insecticide-treated net can save
three people from needless suffering or possible death from
malaria.  Where do these ‘nets’ come from? NetsforLife® brings
together corporations, foundations, faith-based organizations
and private donors in a collaborative initiative focused on
eliminating malaria in Africa. NetsforLife® is managed and
monitored by Episcopal Relief & Development, (ERD) in 15
countries throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Distribution of nets
and training programs are implemented by local Anglican
dioceses, churches, and faith-based groups
