Guest Bio
In 2010, Carleen McGuffy, 45 years old, was diagnosed with chronic hepatitis C, a potentially life-threatening disease, after she began experiencing pain on the left side of her abdomen.
She believes she contracted the virus over 30 years ago. The disease caused her to experience fatigue, joint pain and depression and eventually progressed to stage-2 liver fibrosis. In 2014, she was prescribed a 12-week regimen of a newly approved medicine for hepatitis C and upon completion, Carleen was cured.
Today, Carleen is a wife and mother of six children living in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She and her husband founded Climbing for Carleen, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting testing and diagnosis of hepatitis C, dispelling the stigma of the disease and connecting people to the care they need. The organization hosts free rapid hepatitis C testing clinics year-round. - Length (mins) 10
