Producer Ryan Lewis, known for his work with Macklemore, is championing a new cause. When he was just six-years-old, Lewis learned that his mother, Julie, was HIV-positive. Julie Lewis contracted HIV through a blood transfusion after experiencing complications during the birth of her first child 30 years ago.
Lewis and his mother are celebrating her 30 years of survival through the 30/30 Project, an initiative that aims to build 30 medical centers that are sustainable for 30 years in countries across the globe that have been impacted by HIV and AIDS.
Ryan and Julie Lewis recently discussed their mission on Anderson Cooper 360°, and you can learn more about it here.
