Diane Terry has been involved in AIDS activism since the late 1980s while living in the Haight Ashbury district of San Francisco just as the disease was beginning to surface. Fueled by the personal loss of a dear high school friend, her passion led her to work for the cause in a variety of capacities: first as an AIDS Buddy as part of a care-giving team to those in the final stages of the disease, currently as an active board member of the Red Ribbon Foundation in Greenwich, CT, and as a volunteer and friend to a small Kenyan orphanage for children with HIV/AIDS which she visits on an annual basis. An avid world traveler and photographer, Diane has seen the effects of this global pandemic and its grip while on assignments in Romania, South Africa, Kenya, India, Tanzania, China, as well as in numerous other countries in Eastern Europe, Asia and South America. She lives in Greenwich with her husband and three daughters.

Her hope is that in her lifetime a cure will be found and that HIV/AIDS will disappear from the planet as quickly as it surfaced.
