"Author John Green Pledges $1M Annually to Combat Personal Nemesis Disease"
Author and global health advocate John Green has pledged a $1 million annual donation to fight tuberculosis, a disease he is passionate about eradicating. The donation will support a major investment to bring comprehensive TB care to regions in Ethiopia and the Philippines, with additional funding from government agencies and public health advocates. Green's community, known as Nerdfighters, has been instrumental in advocating for accessible TB products and lowering prices, contributing to the success of this initiative. The project aims to reduce the burden of TB in communities and save many lives through screening, treatment, and preventative therapy.
