Hello My name is Christine O'Leary, I am Terry O'Leary's daughter.

Not many people know, but my dad died prematurely of a disorder that is highly prevalent in the Irish: hemochromatosis. Hemochromatosis is a genetic disease that causes the the body to absorb and store too much iron, it occurs in 1 in 200 people, and it is highly treatable if caught early. Our family didn't know about it and my dad's doctors didn't know about it either....had we known, my dad would still be here to raise a pint with his friends.

I have begun volunteering with an organization to raise awareness about hemochromatosis and have created a pamphlet that I will be passing out at the Pittsburgh St. Patrick's Day parade. Please click on this link to learn more about this disease!!!
