Why this fundraiser is SO important!

In case anyone is wondering why I do this, it's for my mom. She has primary biliary cirrhosis, a genetic condition that causes scarring of the liver tissue and GI tract issues beyond her control. She suffers daily and this is unacceptable. 

One of the most common complications of liver failure is called hepatic encephalopathy - HE. It is a type of dementia causes by the toxic build up normally filtered out of our systems by the liver. It is hell. 

An award-winning director, Cynthia Wade, made a documentary about HE entitled "HE*s Back", which chronicles four families dealing with this illness. I say "families" because HE affects the entire family and can kill the patient. My mom runs the risk, every day, that she could slip into a coma from toxic overload. Statistically, 80% who do slip into a coma from HE never wake from it.
