Hi there from Merrick and Ula! We are getting married, and in lieu of gifts, we would like to raise money for charity.

At current rates, roughly 600,000 people die from malaria every year, most of whom are children in Africa. As a rough approximation, this is equivalent to our entire wedding guest list dying in a period of 3 hours.

We feel very thankful to have the life that we do, and we want to help people in less fortunate circumstances around the world. We have chosen a few of the most impactful global health charities, and we ask that our wedding guests make a donation to support one or more of them. We're hoping to raise at least $5,500 overall, which, on average, is the amount necessary to save a single life.
