Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen to donate $100m to tackle Ebola

Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, 61, who is worth about $17billion,
announced today October 23rd that he will donate $100 million to the
fight against Ebola, which has killed thousands of people all around
the world. This donation makes him the largest individual donor in the
Ebola crisis so far.

"Everybody feels called sometimes to really pursue a certain thing
that resonates with them, and this has resonated with me. We're up
against an extremely tough opponent here. The exponential nature of
the growth of this disease is really a challenge - we've already seen
in the U.S. where one case quickly became two." Allen told NY Times
