Each day during December, I'll be providing information on a charitable organization that I support. These are my personal choices and reflect nothing other than that.
I'm starting out in recognition of World AIDS Day with the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.
Elizabeth Glaser, wife of "Starsky & Hutch" actor Paul Glaser, contracted the AIDS virus through a blood transfusion in 1981 while giving birth to her daughter, Ariel. Ariel contracted the virus through breast milk, and their son, Jake, contracted the virus in utero. Both Elizabeth and Ariel later died of AIDS, but the foundation lives on, helping to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS in children. Jake Glaser is now a healthy young adult, thanks in part to the foundation's efforts.
