Ellen
DeGeneres has been appointed a special envoy in the global fight
against Aids by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Ellen will use
her celebrity status to help raise awareness about the deadly disease.
In a statement, DeGeneres says, “The fight against AIDS is something
that has always been close to my heart. And I’m happy that I can use my
platform to educate people and spread hope.” Clinton announced the new
role during a speech at the National Institutes of Health in Washington,
D.C. yesterday.
