In 1981, Elizabeth Glaser contracted AIDS from a blood transfusion. She unknowingly passed the virus on to her two children. In 1988, she and her husband, TV star Paul Michael Glaser, lost their daughter, Ariel, to the disease that had shattered their world. But Elizabeth's struggle had just begun. Moving beyond the tragedy and the tears, she formed a foundation and fought before Congress for pediatric AIDS research and funding. Her story of hope and heartbreak, of courage in the face of devastating odds, will move and inspire you. It's a story you will never forget.
