I feel so blessed and honored that Gracie and Meghan have been matched again with Jen Davis, a runner in the Boston Marathon. Jen has been training hard and will run in the marathon while wearing Grace & Meghan's names on her back.
I'm so excited and honored that she is running for my girls. It makes me feel so good to know that an almost stranger can care so much, and do so much good for herself and others. Jen, we will be cheering for you tomorrow, April 20th. Thank you so much for your dedication to raising money for liver research. We appreciate it more than you'll ever know.

Boston Marathon Update
In January, Grace and Meghan were matched with Jen Davis, a runner in the Boston Marathon, through a patient match program in use at the American Liver Foundation. Jen is participating in the Run for Research, and we are incredibly honored that she runs in honor of Grace & Meghan, who live with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency every day.
Please consider making a donation to Jen! She is doing such a great job running for anyone affecting by liver issues/diseases. Thank you Jen!

Here is her latest update:
The marathon is 2 weeks from today and the the hard training is now over. We had our 21 mile run last Saturday and I am thrilled to say that I got through it. I have been nursing a quad injury and had not run for 2 weeks prior. I ran a nice steady pace and was able to complete the whole run. Although I had trouble walking for the next 2 days. From now until the marathon we are in taper mode. Giving our muscles time to heal. My fundraising is going great. I am at $6,100 and plan on hitting my goal of $7,500. I am attaching a picture form our run last weekend. This was taken before we set off on the 21 miles. Of course that is why I have the smile on my face. The picture at the end isn't so pretty.
A big hello to Grace and Meghan and please let them know that their names will be written on my marathon shirt in huge letters! ~ Jen

Boston Marathon, ALF Run for Research
I feel so blessed and honored that Gracie and Meghan have been matched again with Jen Davis, a runner in the Boston Marathon. Jen will train and run in the marathon while wearing Grace & Meghan's names on her back.
Last year, the American Liver Foundation raised over 1.2 million dollars in the Run for Research. I'm just so excited and honored that she is running for my girls. It makes me feel so good to know that an almost stranger can care so much, and do so much good for herself and others.
Jen, we will be cheering for you on April 21st. Thank you so much for your dedication to raising money for liver research. We appreciate it more than you'll ever know.
