Debra Messing – YouthAids
Actress Debra Messing was honored by Cookie Magazine with the “2009 Smart Cookie Award”, an honor bestowed upon moms who are changing the world for the better.
Messing is helping to make a difference through her commitment to YouthAids, an education and prevention program which uses media, pop culture, music, theatre and sports to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS.
Shares Messing, "I've been involved with AIDS-related charities for about 15 years. A teacher I was very close to passed away from it, and his death inspired me to get involved. When you get up close and personal with this disease, you are changed forever.
YouthAIDS is very special, because it focuses on prevention and education all over the world. It has reached 600 million children in 60 different countries, which is pretty staggering and inspiring. Its work is so needed: There are 33 million people living today with AIDS or HIV, and 15 million children around the world have been orphaned by the disease. YouthAIDS is giving kids facts, and strength, and something to hold onto to make informed choices. It's also providing optimism, which is essential in overcoming something so seemingly insurmountable."
