Hepatitis C Support Group
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
Hi,
Looks like we've got quite a few people ready to do this, so here's the plan:
Please send me your email address - not DS, but your direct email addy. Send it to:
johanna@hepcmo.org
Once I get everyone's email, I will send out the info for a teleconference call this weekend (It'll be toll-free).
Together we can create the guidelines for the quilt, and get this puppy started! If you don't know how to sew, but want to contribute anyway, send your email address, because a quilt quarter is inexpensive, costing from 2.00 on up, and if you're willing to wash, cut and sign it, we'll give you the address of a quilter to send it to!
Okay, let's get started, cuz May isn't that far away!!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
TGech. problem - can't join in tele onferencing - marchine born April "00 -no voice messaging: so you'll have to send me a precis - but will send my info. to you home e-mail address tomorrow (If I remember - if nnot, when ZI do) Best regards JaneD. PS _ thargest quilt I ever saw was the ?AIDS quilt here in '01 - filled the whole city Hall-which takes up 1 block! All memorial stuff-most moving.
I'm confused. What do you mean "no voice messaging?" This is a telephone call!LOL You just call into the number, type in the code and you're in the room with a bunch of crazy hep C people! LOL
I would love to see a hep C quilt as big as the HIV one! Actually, now that I think of it...
Since for every one person with HIV, there are four with hep C, shouldn't our quilt be FOUR blocks longer?? maniacal laugh
