92-year-old HIV/AIDS advocate remembers son, Tommy Sexton

At 92, Sara Sexton continues to advocate for people in the province living with HIV/AIDS through her work with the Tommy Sexton Centre. 

Actor, comedian and writer Tommy Sexton revealed he was battling AIDS before his death in 1993 at the age of 36. 

His mother, Sara Sexton, has spent the past two decades educating the public about the disease, and raising money for the centre that's named in her son's honour. The Tommy Sexton Centre supports people living with HIV/AIDS. 

Last week, the AIDS Committee of Newfoundland and Labrador raised $10,000 for the centre. 

Here and Now host Debbie Cooper first spoke with Sara Sexton more than 20 years ago, just after her son's death.
