OMG! Wonderful- got chills watching! "I would've liked to known him, but I was just a kid" (8 when he died; first time I heard of him was when his Story showed on tv following his death). Great pictures- where'd you get the ones not in the book? RIP Ryan

Ryan's movie is now out on NetFlix. I couldn't keep the tears from streaming down. Ryan was a gentle giant.

*Kokomo my bad for the typo I was typing too fast & did not look back.

This boy was discriminated against because he was a hemophiliac who contracted AIDS through a dirty blood transfusion. That was not his fault nor under his control. The ignorance people have toward certain situations amazes me. I understand they were scared because they were not sure of what AIDS really was. But if the people in Indiana could accept him, why not the ones in Komoko ? This amazes me how he would have been 38 this year going on 39 & would probably have continued helping everyone w

I live in Kokomo, like I'm forreal here. I go to the same school that he did, my friends my mom went to highschool/middle school with him. I can't believe that my school would expell him like that. RIP Ryan. I can't believe a boy from a very small town, Kokomo/Russiaville,kokomo has 19,000 something, but the school Western, is in Russiavillle and it has 1,094 present day. RIP Ryan.

PEOPLE ARE SO FUCKING CRUEL . HE DID NOT DESERVE THIS.

I urge EVERYONE associated with hemophilia to listen to Episode 39 at:

HowPositiveAreYou . com

Episode 39 is about a hemophiliac who REFUSED to touch any HIV/AID$ drugs & 25yrs later is alive & wants every hemophiliac to know his story.

“Brian” (not his real name) was diagnosed HIV-positive in 1987 along with many other hemophiliacs. Unlike most of the others, however, Brian did not start on AZT. Unlike almost all who did, he is still alive and well today."

HIV & AID$ MEDS kill! PERIOD!
