Fundraising - Support
Colleen's BA 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk was established in memory of Colleen Mitchel, who was born in 1993 with biliary atresia (BA - the most serious liver disease of infancy and childhood) and died in 2013 at 19 years old, while awaiting another liver transplant. Proceeds from the event will support biliary atresia research at the Johns Hopkins Pediatric Liver Center in Baltimore, MD and organ donation awareness.
