After years of wishing I were strong enough to take part in a walk to raise awareness about Hep C and liver disease, I believe I can do it. I signed up for the American Liver Foundation's Liver Life Walk, May 14th in San Diego. There will be walks all over the USA this Spring.
This one is short, as walks go, and has the added effect of entertaining the bonobos and orangutangs as we walk through the San Diego Zoo.
I walk in gratitude for my own recovery, and indignation that prevention, treatment and research still lack funding. Some others walk as memorials, for people they have lost when the vital functions of the liver have stopped.
Balloons and tears ahead.
Be Happy
