Meet Cameron Dixon, ALF’s 2025 Liver Life Challenge ® National LIVEr Champion! In July 2023, Cameron made the brave and life-changing decision to donate 70% of her liver to give her mother, who was in liver failure caused by polycystic kidney disease/polycystic liver disease, a second chance at life She said, “Donating my liver to my mom revealed the strength and courage we both possess and reinforced my commitment to leading a life dedicated to helping others. Now, as I transition from collegiate soccer to training to run the 129th Boston Marathon with Team ALF, I feel compelled to continue sharing my story to inspire others. Athletes and individuals everywhere have the ability to create meaningful change, and I hope my journey demonstrates the incredible impact we can have on the world.”

On January 6th, Liver Life Advocate David Rodriguez celebrated his third Liverversary! Diagnosed with primary biliary cholangitis in January 2021, David’s only hope was a living donor. By December 2021, he was chosen to be part of the University Health's paired-exchange program. David shared his heartfelt gratitude, saying: "I would like to express my deepest thanks to my anonymous liver donor and their family for their life-saving gift. I hope to meet them one day to personally share my appreciation for their incredible generosity." Thank you, David, for being a strong voice for liver patients, their caregivers, and everyone impacted by liver disease! 💙💚
