The ONE Campaign applauds TIME’s announcement today that The Ebola Fighters are the 2014 Person of the Year for risking their lives to serve and protect others.

Michael Elliott, President and CEO of ONE, said:

“This is a wonderful endorsement of some of the world’s most amazing people. From around the world, they’ve left their families and faced danger every day to help the suffering and dying. I’m delighted that TIME magazine has singled them out for praise. Now, we all need to do everything we can to stand by these heroes with financial, logistical and medical support.”
