Fundraiser for Chris Mahon Liver Transplant

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Glenn Mahon; my family and I are fundraising to help with pre and post-surgery costs associated with my brother Chris’ liver transplant.
Chris has been diagnosed with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC), an autoimmune liver disease. He was diagnosed and has lived with this disease for over ten years, and in the last two years, Chris has been in and out of the hospital with infections and associated illnesses requiring medical treatments. During the last two years, in particular, this disease has prohibited Chris from working and significantly impacted his and his family’s quality of life.

Earlier this year, Chris was assessed by the Transplant Team in Halifax and qualified to be placed on the transplant list. Fortunately, on September 27, 2022, Chris was notified that an organ donor was available and traveled to Halifax with his wife, Kathy, today for the liver transplant.

As a result, we are asking for financial support from friends, family and anyone with the means to donate and help cover the costs associated, such as travel, taxis, car rentals, accommodations, meals and caregivers during his surgery and recovery. Chris will also be required to travel to the hospital daily and remain in Halifax for a minimum of 6 weeks after the surgery to ensure his body is handling the transplant well.

We appreciate your consideration and helping Chris and his family through this tough time. Any donations are greatly appreciated.

Chris’ family asks that you consider becoming an organ donor. Information on liver disease and transplants can be found at www.liver.ca, or you can register to be an organ donor at
