Help us change the future for Canadians with liver disease! Join us for the Stroll for Liver –a family friendly, community-based walk/run event dedicated to raising funds for liver research and education.
1 in 4 Canadians may be affected by liver disease – Gary is one of them.
Ten years ago, Gary Trainor was working as a waiter in Moncton, New Brunswick, when he fell and hurt his hand. After his doctor sent him for x-rays and routine blood work, Gary would soon learn his life was about to change drastically.
The blood work revealed that Gary’s liver enzymes were high and after a CT scan, MRI and other tests, he was diagnosed with stage one liver cancer. His doctors told him he would eventually need a liver transplant.
Over the next 16 months, Gary underwent chemotherapy and radiation to shrink the tumour. In November 2009, he finally received the call that a donor liver was available. After a whirlwind trip to Halifax and hours of surgery, Gary had his new liver – but it wouldn’t last long. His body rejected the transplant and just four days after his first surgery, he had a second liver transplant.
“After my transplant, I knew how lucky I was,” says Gary. “If it wasn’t for the research that the CLF funds, I probably wouldn’t be here right now so I wanted to get involved to help raise awareness for this great cause.” Gary Trainor.
