Ryan White Tribute

Twenty years ago today Ryan White died due to complications from AIDS. We remember this day and celebrate the life of Ryan White. He broke down barriers of discrimination for so many people living with HIV/AIDS, living with dignity and tenacity up until the end. It is hard to imagine that White would now be 38 years old, but his fight – our fight – continues. With tens of thousands newly infected each year, we must increase our efforts to prevent the further spread of HIV and educate people in all walks of life. We must also care for those already infected. The HIV/AIDS epidemic cut short White’s life, as well as the lives of countless others. Let us all take a moment and reflect on the life and legacy of this brave young man, Ryan White.
