"I am not a business person, I am not a missionary, I am not an entrepeneur. I am a scientist, but first a woman and a mother. My heart broke when I saw the cruelty and destruction wrought on innocent people by HIV. You cannot walk away from those experiences and do nothing. Visiting Kenya touched my soul and changed my life. I will continue to talk and to show my photos--til my last breath--to get help for those people. They are just like you, just like me. They have faces, names, loves, dreams, worries. An accident of birth brought them to a short life with much pain. Each person I saw could just as readily have been you or me."
