Hi everyone, This story recently appeared in our local newspaper. It’s an incredible story of a 21 year old woman who decides to get tested and was able to donate a portion of her liver to a 39 neighbour and mother. It’s a great story for a number of obvious reasons but as we all know, many of us will be facing a liver transplant at some point. Liver donors are one option. [http://www.insidehalton.com/news-story/4319041-neighbours-connected-for-life-by-liver-donation/](http://www.insidehalton.com/news-story/4319041-neighbours-connected-for-life-by-liver-donation/) I hope you enjoy this story as much as I did. Ironically these two people live fairly close to me in the same town. Stephen ---

I read this yesterday and articles like that really give me hope. I know ideally it would be nice if no one needed a liver transplant, but we all know that unfortunately the majority of PSC sufferers will need one. Reading an article like this is so touching and inspirational. :) Erica Tomlinson is someone that is truly inspirational. Thank you Stephen. ---

Ditto. I was tempted to email everyone I know the link, but then I hesitated. I am still toying with the idea. Hope it gets lots of publicity. It should be on the front of the site. PrincessD's Mum ---

Love that both women look 'forward to showing off their new scars'! Thanks for sharing, Stephen. Great read. ---

Ok....I bit the bullet and emailed it out to people. You are right. The more we publicise the better it will be. I too believe PrincessD will have to go down that route. Take care for now. PrincessD's Mum
