Running on recycled parts. Mike was an avid runner, but his severe liver issues prevented him from doing what he loved. The doctors at The Liver Institute at Methodist Dallas Medical Center diagnosed him with two chronic inflammatory diseases: autoimmune hepatitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), which can both lead to liver scarring. Mike was put on a liver transplant list, but when his health deteriorated, the specialists at The Liver Institute took immediate action. Today, Mike is proud to be “running on recycled parts” in honor of the organ donor who gave him a second chance at life. Trust Methodist.
