It is tragic that this debilitating disease, so widespread that it is known
in every corner of the globe, has not been brought under control. The
problem is huge, medical authorities cannot overcome it alone. They need our
help, you can make the difference. I urge you to support the Stop TB
Partnership. Share the responsibility and share the reward of knowing you
are saving lives. I am living proof that TB can be beaten. Every breath does
count, so stop TB now and let people live!"
