In March 2021 my cousin Alex, a 3rd year student studying medicine, was diagnosed with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC), a rare and complex immune-mediated disease of the bile ducts. Symptoms can be severe and unpredictable, sometimes progressing so far that the only lifesaving option is a liver transplant. This diagnosis came as a massive shock to Alex and his family and is something that Alex is slowly learning to live with, aided by the advice that has been provided from PSC Support charity which has been invaluable. 

There is no way to slow or stop the progress of this devastating disease and people living with PSC desperately need a cure. People with PSC live with an increased risk of developing some cancers, including bile duct cancer and colon cancer. More than three quarters also live with inflammatory bowel disease. Even after a liver transplant, PSC returns in around a third of patients.

Your donations will help PSC Support to provide much-needed support and information to people affected by PSC. Critically, they'll help PSC Support to fund and drive groundbreaking PSC research, taking us closer and closer to a cure. Every penny counts. Thank you. #LetsBeatPSC
