Justine is a beautiful, smart 11-year-old with Alagille syndrome. She was diagnosed with Alagille's at the age of 2 weeks after a liver biopsy and exploratory surgery. Doctors told her parents she would have to be watched very closely for the first several years of her life. Over the years she has done very well.

Justine is doing great in school, makes friends easily and is known for her kind heart. On her latest report card her teacher remarked about her positive attitude and that made her family very proud.

Through it all -- the doctor visits and medicines that she takes every day -- Justine has been a real trooper. She is a very special girl.
