ASHLEY MURPHY

She was born HIV positive, and the condition turned into AIDS. She was placed into foster care, and her foster parents were told Ashley had only weeks to live. But after taking Ashley home, her health began to improve. Ashley started speaking publicly about her condition since she was age 10, and has spoken at We Day events across Canada. Ashley shared the stage with people like Queen Noor of Jordan, Martin Luther King III and Magic Johnson. Ashley’s story inspired so many people around the world, especially others like her with HIV, with the message that we can all overcome our challenges as well as use them to help others.
