Given six months to live and being the fighter that I am, I set high goals for myself.
Most recently my battle has been against AIDS and the discrimination surrounding it.
I spent Christmas and the next thirty days in the hospital.
How could these people in the public eye not be afraid of me, but my whole town was?
The desire to move into a bigger house, to avoid living AIDS daily, and a dream to be accepted by a community and school, became possible and a reality with a movie about my life, The Ryan White Story.
I came face to face with death at thirteen years old.
