Richard Bassett's video: Elizabeth Taylor - History - by Richard Bassett

For seven and a half decades, Dame Elizabeth Taylor has lived and loved life to its fullest. It is a philosophy that she still believes in today. As the tides of her life ebb and recede, she always comes forth refreshed and ready to take on new projects and to conquer new territory. On September 26, 2008, she attended the annual Macys Passport Fashion Show Gala. This AIDS fund raising event has raised thirty million dollars thus far. Dame Elizabeth has been with Macys since its conception a quarter of a century ago. This year she bravely took the stage and, against odds, gave a powerful speech on the continual importance for raising money for AIDS research. Now is not the time to let it slide. She has made AIDS philanthropy her lifes mission and shows no sign of slowing down. Aside Mother Teresa, she is one of the main humanitarians of her time. In viewing these short film clips, please donate to the cause that has become Dame Elizabeth Taylors life mission for over two decades. The eradication of AIDS in the world. Until such time, The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation funds programs and organization that give direct care to the population of millions affected with HIV/AIDSwhether it is direct care or related/ associated services. So many people are now living longer with AIDS/HIV due to advances in viral medication technology, but the impact of living a life with AIDS is far reaching. AIDS affects all of us, in one way or another. Generations of young people are not conscious of the 1980s. The face of AIDS has changed since the time when those who were ill were visibly stigmatized, akin to being lepers. Now, those with HIV/AIDS live life among the general population attempting to cope with the disease. Sometimes, silently. Emotionally, the impact is just the same as those first diagnosed. Fear. The only solution is to rid the world of this disease, therefore opening a technological highway aimed to ignite the remedy to so many other diseases as well. Any amount of time or money will push this development ahead, not behindnever behind!
