Extreme athlete and adventurer Ash Dykes has been named as one of Malaria No More's special ambassadors, where he will 'inspire support, funds and awareness' to try and end deaths caused by malaria.

Dykes, who travelled the length of Madagascar in 155 days, commented 'I saw the impact of malaria on communities in Madagascar, it rips families and lives apart. I wouldn't wish my experience on anyone yet every two minutes a child loses their life to this preventable disease. We can and will change this and I'm proud to be on the team to make malaria no more'.
