Meet our 2020 National LIVEr Life Walk Champion
In 2013, when Philip was only a few weeks old, he was diagnosed with Biliary Atresia (BA).
After undergoing surgery when he was eight weeks old, Philip spent the next two years in and out of the hospital, facing multiple complications. It was determined that Philip should be listed for a liver transplant, and his family began to look into a living liver donation. Luckily, Philip’s dad, Dan, was a match! Both Philip and his dad were wheeled into the operating room on May 10, 2016 – a day that changed their lives. Now Philip is a typical six-year-old boy who loves cars and playing with his brother. If Philip’s parents didn’t share his story, others would not be aware of the hardships he’s had to endure at such a young age.
