A daughter saved her mother’s life, and now they are working to support others impacted by liver disease.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Katie Doyen’s mother, Anne, is one of 100 million Americans who suffer from liver disease.<\/p>\n

When Anne needed life-saving help in 2018, Katie answered the call without hesitation to donate part of her liver.<\/p>\n

“Knowing she needed a transplant, I was immediately interested in doing whatever testing I could do to potentially be a donor,” Katie said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After her mom got on the donor list and became sicker, Katie matched the day after Mother’s Day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The mother-daughter is working with the American Liver Foundation, where Anne is now on the board of directors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I always wanted to pay it forward. I was so grateful after the transplant, I was so grateful to Katie,” Anne said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The organization is hosting the Walk to End Liver Disease on Saturday, May 16th, in Lincoln Park. Anne and Katie have participated in the Chicago walk since 2018.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She calls the organization a “beacon of hope.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
