Liver Disease
Liver Disease - Quebec Chapter is Holding Fund Raising Event
The Canadian Liver Foundation Quebec Chapter is holding its second annual "Stroll for Liver" walk on May 26th at Place des arts in Montreal from 10:00 am to two:00 pm to improve money to improve awareness and fight liver disease.
Stroll for Liver
The Canadian Liver Foundation - Quebec Chapter actively works to educate Quebecers about liver disease, provide support for research and assistance to people affected using the disease. For the second year in a row, the Quebec Chapter is holding its "STROLL for LIVER™" five kilometre walk in Montreal on May 26th at Place des Art in Montreal.
Regional Director Betty Esperanza comments, "Liver disease affects one in ten Quebecers where there are lots of causes. We are extremely excited to carry our second event on May 26th and we're getting excited about continuing the momentum from this past year. Many individuals in Quebec associate liver disease with abusive drinking. The simple truth is that liver disease from alcohol accounts for only 8% of diagnosed cases and also the most common cirrhosis with the liver originates from fatty foods and unhealthy lifestyle. So actually, everyone can be affected by liver disease. There exists a direct link between obesity so we see children who are only 4 with fatty liver.
You wouldn`t realize it but kids die from liver cancer too. Our goal for your Stroll for Liver is always to raise funds to help continue the chapter's community outreach and assist with Quebecers impacted by the condition."
Montreal's 2nd 5 km walk/run provides families and friends from all communities together. Everyone is impacted by liver disease from newborns to children, teenagers to adults. Everybody can participate in the walk. Those wanting to participate can register here for the Montreal "Stroll for Liver" event.
The Canadian Liver Foundation began in 1969 by a band of doctors and business leaders concerned with the growing incidence of liver disease. The Quebec Chapter is a number of volunteers who work diligently to provide education to the Quebec population concerning the factors behind the illness and help Quebecers affected. The Quebec Chapter of the Canadian Liver Foundation is situated at 1000 De la Gauchetiere Street, Suite 1430, Montreal Quebec, H3B 4W5. The main telephone number is (514) 876-4170.
