cross posting of bee blessed post from social forum fyi (Merck is also involved)
Hello everyone. July 28, 2011 is the first annual "World Hepatitis Day", backed by the WHO (World Health Organization). On July 27, 2011 (tomorrow), the Allman Bros. and Natalie Cole will be doing a concert in New York, to raise awareness about Hep C. You can paste these links into your browser for more information. Might also be helpful to show loved ones, to help them better understand your situation.

Oh thanks very much! MedHelp moved my post, not me. Hopefully, they will leave yours here. All the best to you.
Not only did Natalie Cole sing 2 songs but Phil Lesch made a plea for organ donation and David Crosby showed up as well. It was a rockin' good time.

With the WHO getting involved and recognition of the global issue that Hepatitis is and involvement of people like Gregg Allman willing to put his name and energies to it, it will be interesting to see what sort of attention the world gives it.
Thanks for posting.
