Profile Examples

"I've lived with hepatitis B my entire life but it doesn't define me! I love to be outside and some of my favorite outdoor activities include hiking, camping, swimming, and rollerblading!"

"World Hepatitis Day has new meaning for me. I became a mother on July 28th. It has been the most challenging and rewarding experience. In the beginning, things were (and still are) tough. I was in pain and emotionally drained. Behind social media posts, not many share the feeling of loneliness without being alone (of course, the pandemic did not help). Ethan is now 7 months old and my greatest joy. His smiles, giggles, and daily discoveries re-energize my most exhausting days. As he grows up, I can’t wait to witness all of life’s wonder through his eyes."

"I am a wife, dog mom, marathoner and avid traveler. I am passionate about food, hiking, being in nature, exploring, public health and eliminating hepatitis B."
