Do you believe it?  webBikeWorld was started in 2000 and our first review was posted in 2001.  And here we are with our 400th review article, the Belstaff Mercury jacket!

We decided to do something special to celebrate this milestone!  

The jacket was donated by British Motorcycle Gear and we sold if for $250.00.  The money was matched by webBikeWorld and New Enough (through the dollars that webBikeWorld visitors have earmarked during their New Enough purchases) for a total of $750.00, which was then donated to Millennium Promise (see below)!

The funds were used to purchase malaria nets for mothers and children in Africa.  Why malaria nets?  It's hard to believe that here we are in 2006 and a child dies every 30 seconds from malaria.  The malaria nets can help put a stop to this!

Insecticide-treated bed nets cost a mere $10.00 each, including delivery.  The bed nets can help prevent malaria by protecting a mother and child during the night when the mosquitoes are most active.  Each bed net lasts for 5 years and protects 2 people. 

This was a great way to celebrate.  Thanks for everyone who participated!
