Football Fighting Ebola was founded by Godfrey K Torto (Ask Godders Group) and Carlton Cole (West Ham FC and England) in the wake of the Ebola crisis to unify the spirit of the football world to the combating of this terrible disease. There is an ongoing online campaign called Trick and Donate ( #trickanddonate ) that you can see on the Ask Godders TV  youtube channel. The hope is that the football community of players, fans and supporters will come together and stand  against this disease, raising enough money to support the work of King's Sierra Leone Partnership and the Carlakka foundation. Please visit www.kslp.org.uk for more details on the fantastic work the medics and volunteers from King's College London are doing in Sierra Leone.
