David Scott memorial fundraiser for Liver Research

Joanna howard is raising money for Foundation for Liver Research
In memory of David Scott

The West Highland Way · 4 May 2026

Liver disease is now the UK’s third biggest cause of premature death - and the only major disease where death rates are rising. The good news? The science is working. Help us keep delivering breakthroughs to catch liver disease earlier, treat it better, and in many cases prevent it all together.

Story

We are walking the West Higland Way in May in memory of David Scott, a wonderful father to Danny and Charlie and husband to Jo. He died in September 2025 due to an infection. David was a proud Scotsman, our holidays were spent hill walking in Scotland. David suffered from Primary Sclerosing Collingitis, an auto immune condition for which the only remedy was a liver transplant. But it was not a cure and the disease returned. David felt very lucky to have 2 transplants which gave him an extra 14 years of life. Even after his 2nd liver transplant he continued to hike up Munroes in the Scottish Highlands. We are raising funds in his memory for 2 causes.This page is in aid of the Foundation for Liver Research.
