Why CLDF

As you read this, two more families will have received the devastating news that their child has a potentially life-threatening liver disease. Their lives have been shattered and will never be the same again. Children's Liver Disease Foundation (CLDF) immediately picks up the pieces giving thousands of families hope for the future.

• CLDF is the lead charity supporting medical research into all childhood liver disease, affecting more families than childhood leukaemia.
• CLDF is an information hub for healthcare professionals and the general public.
• CLDF provides a tailored support service for young people with liver disease and their families.

Supporting you

We support you every step of the way with fundraising and publicity advice, cheering packs for your supporters and a reception in a hotel (with a shower!) after the run. Meet the children and families you help!

Olivia

At 8 weeks old Olivia was diagnosed with the liver disease biliary atresia. A life saving operation failed so at 7 months old her father gave part of his liver to save his daughter’s life. Today, Olivia, aged 4, is living life to the full. We want to make sure that CLDF can continue to help families like Olivia’s. With your help, we can.
