As many of you know, the Kellner Family Pediatric Liver Disease Foundation was founded 4 years ago, shortly after our beautiful son Raphael was diagnosed with a life-threatening liver disease called Biliary Atresia. At the age of 6 months old Raphael underwent a life sustaining liver transplant. Raphael will soon be turning 5, entering kindergarten and partaking in the daily joy, fun, laughter and mischief of children his age. While Raphael continues to take his daily medications, endures routine blood work and hospital check-ups, we know that we are the lucky ones. With the love and support of our friends, families and committee members, our mission to ease the pain and suffering of children afflicted with liver disease and the families who love them, continues.

Our friends, colleagues and corporate sponsors have given generously over the course of our last 3 spectacular fundraising events, raising in excess of $500,000. We hope that we can count on your continued support this year. We are very excited and honored to inform you that this year the Kellner Family Pediatric Liver Disease Foundation will be the proud Platinum sponsor of the 2008 Liver Walk hosted by the American Liver Foundation Greater New York Chapter.

Portions of the monies raised this year will go to support the great efforts of the American Liver Foundation. The monies raised to date have resulted in much needed liver fellowships, advancements in organ donation and the revitalization of the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Mount Sinai Medical Hospital. Our work moves forward and with your on-going support we will be able to continue our mission of Touching Children’s Lives.

With much love and gratitude,
Samantha, Andrew, Sophie & Raphael


 
W ith the overwhelming generosity of our friends, families, colleagues and corporate sponsorships our third annual fundraised held last June at STRATA raised over $210,000, bringing us to our goal of $500,000. Through our funding and advocacy, we strive to ensure that children with liver disease and their families are given the highest quality of care. We hope that we have inspired you to help us even more as we continue on our mission.

Again, thank you all for your generous support. Your involvement is invaluable. Your gifts will allow us to continue "Touching Children's Lives".
