Together, we are moving closer to a world without liver disease.

Challenge Chair

Meet the 2023 Five Boro Bike Tour Liver Life Challenge Chair, Jeffrey Doerr. Ten years ago, Jeffrey received a living liver donation from his friend, John. On May 7th, Jeffrey and John will ride through NYC together. Learn more about why this challenge means so much to Jeffrey.

Their dad, John Bayeux, was a family man. For a man who was forever gifted with extracurriculars, liver cancer was never on the mind.  To honor their beloved father and the 10-year anniversary of his passing, John, Patrick, and Kate will all be running the 2024 NYC Half Marathon.
