This
is the true story of Patrick's wish.
Lyanne knew that her big brother Patrick had a bleeding
disorder called hemophilia, but he was full of life
and fun, a friend as well as a brother. When she was
old enough to understand, Patrick told her he also had
a virus in his blood called HIV that would one day turn
to a serious disease called AIDS. What Patrick showed
her and everyone around him was his courage and that
he had so much to give. He had a wish for the world,
and while he was alive he worked hard to make it happen.
His wish was that we should all learn about this disease,
and that one day we would find a cure.
