Simon Labbett hasn't added a story.
The Transplant Games provide an opportunity for organ transplant recipients from around the country to come together for competition and fun in a celebration of health. The transplant athletes, ranging from age 5 to 85, will choose from sports such as Track and Field, Swimming, Golf, Tennis, Table Tennis, Squash, Badminton, Bowling, Cycling and Lawn Bowling.
Having attended the games in previous years, I know the incredible experiences that can come from it. My wife received a double lung transplant in 2005 and we have been to many Transplant Games, both in Canada, and also the World Games in Australia in 2009.
The Games give the recipient a wonderful way to celebrate their second chance at life. Some have been sick most of their lives and have never done anything like this. It is so wonderful to see everyone's faces light up when they are competing and interacting with each other!
There is a group of 11 people I know wanting to attend the Canadian Transplant Games in Moncton, some for the first time. And although my wife and I are not attending the games this year, we would like to see those wanting to attend not be denied because of transportation costs.
So please give and help "Get them to the Games"
