‘Modern Family’ actress Sarah Hyland has dealt with her fare share of health issues with a chronic kidney condition she has been dealing with all of her life. Supporting a cause like amfAR is extremely important to Hyland and she couldn’t stress enough how critical events like this are to raise more money for scientific research to find a cure.
“I think it is tremendously important to spread awareness for this cause. What we need more of as a society is more scientific research for everything. The AIDS epidemic is still very prevalent around the world, 4,000 people get infected with HIV everyday and we need more money for that.”
