I'm with 2 team Hep C Action team members in Vienna asking the world's hep doctors to support our butterfly symbol as the international icon for hep C, like the red ribbon is for HIV. They like it!
We have been very busy, we have a petition going and are giving out the pins and cards by the 1000.

The website is great too, you made the butterfly symbol come alive. The whole Hep C Action NZ team deserves a lot of praise, especially Dr James, he definitely deserves that recognition.
