Neil Willenson
In 1993, Neil Willenson met and was inspired by Nile Wolff, a young boy living with HIV/AIDS in Mequon, Wisconsin. Shortly thereafter, Neil founded Camp Heartland - a summer camp program that accepted children with AIDS that was equipped with state-of-the-art medical facilities able to handle the special needs of immuno-compromised campers. Camp Heartland soon became more than that: it became a summer camp program where children living with HIV/AIDS could step out of the shadows of secrecy into the light of openness and honesty; a place where kids with AIDS could live without lies and have a chance to make real friends; and a place where these children could have the best week of their lives.
