Virtual Hep B Awareness Walkathon

Aiming to increase awareness for hepatitis B, the Asian Liver Center at Stanford University and its supporters -- such as 15-year-old Pleasanton twins Arya and Esha Cyril, youth advocates for the group -- have organized participants for a virtual walkathon being held worldwide through Monday (Aug. 10).

With a message of “stand united against hepatitis B,” the walkathon encourages people to walk or hike around their neighborhood and take a picture in which they held a message or symbol showing why the cause is important to them.
