Liver Life Challenge is ALF’s official endurance program, where dedicated athletes from across the country use their passion and commitment to go the extra mile for the liver community.

Meet our 2026 National LIVEr Champion
Priest, teacher, marathoner, and non directed living donor Damian Delaney shows what’s possible when compassion and endurance come together. After donating 60% of his liver to a stranger in 2018, he returned to distance running stronger than ever. This year, he’s running with American Liver Foundation’s Liver Life Challenge® Team ALF at the Boston Marathon to raise awareness about non directed living liver donation.
