In October 2000, Kelly Zirbes
began raising awareness of hepatitis C to honor her
friend, Gioia, who lost her battle with the disease.
Determined to get the word out about Hep C, she put
together shows, toured all over the country with her
band Kelly's Lot, ran marathons, and performed at community
events that shared a common focus... to raise awareness
of Hepatitis C. After more than 4 years of work dedicated
to this mission, Kelly started the Hep C Postcard campaign
and began building a coalition of musicians and street
teams to help her raise awareness on a larger scale. There have been a variety of events including three telethons which aired live on the internet. The last one was aired on television in Southern California! Get involved and help us get information to your community! (more)
 
The postcard campaign provides the
basic facts and information to help people determine
who is at risk and how to get help. Musicians
help by distributing the postcards at their shows and
Street Teams put them anywhere they can within their
community. We need help - anyone is welcome to join
our mission...
