"I never want another child to have to go through what
Meg went through"
Baby Meg was just a week old when she was diagnosed with biliary atresia. This rare disease blocks the bile ducts, causing bile to build up and do devastating damage to the liver.
For her mum Sophia, Meg’s diagnosis was terrifying.
THE LIVER FOUNDATION
The Liver Foundation exists to address the spectrum of Liver disease from very mild liver disease in the community, right through to advanced liver disease ie people requiring liver transplantation and people with severe complications of liver disease, including liver cancer.
The liver is an organ about the size of a football. It sits just under your rib cage on the right side of your abdomen. The liver is essential for digesting food and ridding your body of toxic substances.
YOUR LIVER,
YOUR HEALTH

Get fit while raising vital funds and awareness for the Liver Foundations
After his liver transplant, Peter Karamihalis found himself repeating the same line: “It wasn’t because I was an alcoholic.”
The 62-year-old Paddington man had contracted Hepatitis C in his youth from transfusions for a blood disorder. The damage to his liver resulted in scarring and then a cancer diagnosis.
