Keith Haring

Keith Haring was born on May 4, 1958.Keith Haring was 30 years old when he died. He started the Keith Haring foundation in 1989. The foundation is set up to provide funding and imagery to AIDS organizations and children's programs. He started this organization because he was diagnosed with AIDS one year earlier. Keith Haring achieved international fame due to his artwork but sadly died from AIDS when he was only 31 years old. Even though he died doesn't mean that his legacy wasn't left behind. He turned a bad situation into a great testimony. He may of had AIDS but he didn't let himself be defined by that. Instead of moping around he got up and decided to do something with his life. He started an organization to help those with his conditions. I think we can all apply this to our lives. Life may throw you lemons but are you going to make lemonade or try to make coffee? Do something that when you die you can be proud of.
