Today we celebrate Don’s #liverversary! Don was diagnosed with liver cancer in February 2012. Eight months later, he received the call that a liver was waiting for him. After 18 days in ICU with complications, he was finally released to go home, and was so thankful. Today, Don is an avid volunteer for ALF and serves as a member of ALF’s Public Policy Committee and as an Advocacy Ambassador. Don thanks his donor everyday and shares information to increase awareness of liver disease and to dispel some of the myths associated with it. Congratulations on 12 years #liverstrong, Don! You inspire us all every day!! 💚💙 If you’d like to join ALF as a Liver Life Advocate, learn more here: https://liver.fyi/advocate

October is National Liver Awareness Month. In the U.S., liver disease affects 100 million individuals, many of whom don’t know they have it. Together, we can advocate for better prevention and treatment options. Take 2 minutes to send a letter to Congress and tell them that liver health must be a priority. https://lnkd.in/e93EMisW

Thank you to 2024 National Legacy Gala gold sponsor, Madrigal Pharmaceuticals for joining us Monday night and making a difference for the 100 million Americans living with liver disease. 💚💙
As part of #LiverAwarenessMonth this October, we were honored to sponsor the American Liver Foundation's National Legacy Gala, where we celebrated individuals and organizations making outstanding contributions in the fight against liver disease. Several of our team members attended the event to show their support for this important cause. Funds raised at the gala will benefit Americans affected by liver disease, providing resources, education, and support services, while also helping to advance research and advocacy efforts. Together, we're working toward a healthier future without liver disease.
