Once in a while the world is graced with a true leader - one who demonstrates grace and courage, who triumphs over painful adversity to inspire people the world over. These are people of such integrity, faith and determination to make the world a better place, that when theyspeak,we listen.

Think for a moment... if at age 10 years you had been forced from your comfortable city home into a mud hut in a remote,dusty village for the next nine years; if by 18 you had nursed your parents to their early and painful deaths; this circumstance forcing you into a marriage of convenience to a man 25 years your senior; if by 21 you had mothered his two daughters only to learn you had contracted a potentially lethal, incurable disease; would you have the strength and courage to dedicate your life to fighting for others?

Would you have the courage to sit across the table from the leader of the free world and convince him to commit $15billion to fighting the virus that killed your parents, your brother and your sister?
