Thank you! Instant tears of love and hope. My fiancé has PSC, it would be such a blessing for me, if I could give this gift to him. God bless!

My husband was diagnosed with PSC today. He is only 48 and has been living with ulcerative colitis for two decades. He has done some research on the disease and is now very discouraged. I want to stay positive and look for anything I can do to provide support and educate myself. Don and Heather’s story has given me hope in knowing that we have the option of living donors. Before reading this, I didn’t know that this was an option for liver transplants. Don and Heather – Thank you for sharing your story.

I was diagnosed with PSC yesterday at age 37 (just like Heather). I have been dealing with Crohn’s disease for 20 years and have seen “elevated liver enzymes” on my bloodwork for at least 10 but had no idea what PSC was until a month ago. I have been online all day researching PSC and came across this amazing story and video and sat here alone at my desk crying while listening to Heather and Don tell their story. Thank you for sharing such an uplifting story at a time when I really needed some good news.

Heather and Don… thank you for sharing. I was just diagnosed with PSC a couple weeks ago and just today got brave enough to look the disease up on line. Your story uplifted me! Your example of love, bravery and hope has given me courage. I will pray for both of you to be blessed with health and growing love. I also live in Boise!
