Mary ’ s Story

Liver disease can take many forms . Mary and her husband Bill made mirror wills when Bill was diagnosed with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis , a rare liver condition . Bill had a liver transplant in 2001 but sadly lost his life in 2014 .
As Christmas approaches , Mary reflects on her life with Bill .
“ Bill and I wanted to leave a meaningful amount of money ; when we did our Wills , we thought about what the disease , the generosity of the donor and his family and the transplant had meant for us . Above all it had allowed Bill to become a grandad to a grandson he loved very much .
“ As his widow it gives me great comfort to know that Bill ’ s legacy will improve the lives of fellow sufferers and their families in years to come . Please consider leaving a legacy in your will to the British Liver Trust .”
British Liver Trust supports patients and families , and campaigns for better awareness , early detection and treatment of all liver conditions .
