Melissa Leverich
Team Name: In Memory of Arty
State: Missouri
Melissa sought to get involved in the Liver Life Walk when her brother was diagnosed with liver cancer three weeks before passing on November 29, 2014. Words cannot express how much this significantly affected her family as it transpired so quickly. Sadly, there was not a great deal anyone could do with the disease being so far advanced. Melissa wanted to honor her brother and find ways to help others in his memory. As a team, “In Memory of Arty”, walks each year to help raise awareness and fight to end this horrible disease.
