There are no treatments for cirrhosis but transplant and not nearly enough livers for that, as patients what should we do about that?

This very short video highlights our challenge. I was wondering if you might have suggestions on how we can save more lives. Selfish question on my part as I want to be one of those but would be pleased if you came tool

I think holding more big events and advertising to get the awareness out there more. And videos of the impact an organ can have on saving lives and keeping families together.

Most people have no idea that a poor diet can lead to cirrhosis and the fact that more transplants are performed due to NAFLD than addiction is shocking......A media blitz and primary care doctors need to focus on education of NAFLD

The reason we are doing patient videos is that they are the most effective way to reach people. Education can't happen until someone is tuned in to listen and in our culture today short video stories are a useful way to focus some people on an idea so that they can learn something and agencies are asking me to suggest candidates.

So true- short and visual. Did you receive many volunteers?

very few, of course, the fact that the system to record their volunteering didn't work right soured people a bit
