Run for Your Liver, Run for Your Life

This event is more than just a race—it’s a celebration of healthier living and a shared commitment to raising awareness about MASLD and advancing liver transplant care. Whether you're running, walking, cheering others on, or simply stopping by to learn and enjoy, make sure you stop at the educational and healthy food trucks. And if you can’t attend in person, you can still support this important cause by making a donation—every contribution helps advance research and improve lives.
