Liver Run 5k is a run/walk that helps raise awareness for liver disease and organ donation. In 2008, at just 9 years old, Jon was diagnosed with Primary Sclerosis Cholangitis (PSC). Growing up with PSC meant knowing a liver transplant was inevitable. Jon found solace and strength in sports. In high school, Jon discovered his passion for running, a love that intensified in college while he ran Cross Country at Goldey-Beacom College. As he anticipated the 2020 season, his PSC was rapidly advancing, his MELD score reaching the critical point for transplant. In 2020, Jon needed a life saving liver transplant. After hearing the news his older brother David volunteered to be a living donor. After the transplant Jon and David both made a full and healthy recovery. Jon was even able to return to running because of David's selfless act. Join us to help spread the word of organ donation, and to give hope for those who await their life saving transplant.
