LETTER FROM THEPRESIDENT AND CEOThomas F. Nealon III, Esq.Dear ALF Colleagues,Over the past 17 years – as an American Liver Foundation (ALF) fundraiser,board member, board chair and now as CEO – I’ve met countless amazingand committed individuals who are part of ALF’s family at our eventsacross the nation. As you’ve come together to share your experiences,learn from and teach each other, raise awareness, support ALF’s programsand advocate for causes that affect those with liver disease, yourengagement has made ALF the grassroots powerhouse that it is and thetrue voice of liver patients.It’s because of your dedication, courageous spirit & generosity that, in 2018,ALF not only reaffirmed our commitment to the four pillars of our mission– education, support, advocacy and research – but we were able to reachnew communities, expand our programming and enhance our offerings.In 2018, throughout our 17 divisions, we listened to your concerns andbuilt out our regional education to meet your needs. From our newAssociate Healthcare Professional Management Series for non-MDs inthe Great Lakes Division to our Fatty Liver Symposium for patients andcaregivers in the Mid-Atlantic Division, our informative and interactiveprogramming is addressing the issues that matter to you.We’ve also responded to your desire for more – and morevaried – support services. Our tireless Helpline specialists replied to 10%more inquiries than in the previous year – 10,100 in 2018 alone! – andwe expanded our disease-specific support activities, too. For example, weadded a second facilitated Facebook Group, Life with NASH (for individualswith nonalcoholic steatohepatitis), and the blog Life with PBC about therare liver disease primary biliary cholangitis (PBC).Under my leadership, we’re also increasing our presence in the Capitolbecause legislation related to health care affects each and every one ofus. For the first time in our 43-year history, ALF conducted two listeningsessions for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) during 2018. Thefirst was on clinical trial design and endpoints for alcoholic hepatitis andother alcohol-associated liver diseases. The second was on issues relatedto quality of life and treatments related to rare pediatric diseases. Thesemeetings with regulatory agencies position ALF to better ensure thatpatients’ experiences are considered at each point in the development ofnew treatments. We’re proud to amplify the patient voice.In 2018, we also broadened our research support because scientificbreakthroughs are crucial to improving life for those with liver disease.We not only awarded four Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Awards and aLiver Scholar Award to early-career researchers – as we do each year – wealso honored two faculty members through PBC Fund for the Cure Awards.The PBC awards were made possible through the generous support of aprivate donor. We wish all the award winners much success as they strive toimprove detection, advance disease management and discover cures!As I officially sign off on another year, I reiterate that it’s our communalefforts that are making the difference – and will one day enable us toreach our vision of a world without liver disease.Sincerely,3
