The annual Love Your Liver is an awareness-driven campaign by Blue Faery, which aims to "empower Black communities with life-saving knowledge about liver cancer through free virtual workshops and culturally focused education." As an organization, Blue Faery aims to "prevent, treat, and cure primary liver cancer through research, education, and advocacy."
Running during Black History Month, the initiative addresses an alarming statistic — members of the Black and African American communities are 1.5 times more likely to develop liver disease and cancer in comparison with the rest of the population.
Blue Faery's Love Your Liver campaign began on February 3rd with a virtual educational workshop with gastroenterologist and transplant hepatologist Dr. Crista Brown. The second educational workshop is scheduled with Mayo Clinic gastroenterologist and liver cancer researcher Dr. Lewis Roberts on February 28th.
