Welcome to Brooke's Posses Liver Life Walk Team Page!
Get ACTIVE, have FUN and help us raise funds for a great cause.
Join us for a 5k walk on:
September 22, 2013
10:00 am
Rentshcler Field, East Hartford
We are on a personal mission to help the American Liver Foundation in the fight against liver disease and we need your help.
Our daughter, Brooke was diagnosed with Biliary Atresia at 6 weeks old. Biliary Atresia is a rare condition in newborn infants in which the common bile duct between the liver and the small intestine is blocked or absent. The cause of the condition is unknown. At 7 weeks of age Brooke had the Kasai procedure performed to remove the damaged bile duct and replace it with a part of her small intestine to gain bile flow. This procedure is not a cure and many children with biliary atresia end up requiring liver transplantation at some point in their life. Brooke is a happy and fun loving 7 year old.
Last year team Brooke's Posse raised $4,700 for the ALF. By making a donation you'll take us one step closer to our goal of $5,000 and take all of us another stride closer to a world free of liver disease!
