Idris Elba, soccer stars launch campaign against Ebola

In another, footballers Yaya Touré, Carlton Cole, Kei Kamara, Patrick Vieira, Fabrice Muamba and Andros Townsend pay homage to the work of frontline healthcare workers by wearing their names on the backs of their jerseys.

Manchester City midfielder Touré hails from Ivory Coast, which shares borders with the 3 countries hit by the disease but has so far been spared.

“I could not sit back without doing something to help fight Ebola,” he said. “The campaign pays tribute to the many, many African heroes who are in the villages, towns and cities using their skills, resourcefulness and intelligence to battle Ebola.”
