It's a tough decision, since the choice I make will affect me for months to come. But as a kidney transplant recipient, I will have the support of a community of family and friends. I'm talking about choosing what sport to participate in during next year's Transplant Games.
The U.S. Transplant Games is an Olympic-style event that takes place every two years. The athletes all have one thing in common ― they, alone, are not the sum of their parts. Rather, they are all organ transplant recipients. This event, unlike any other, shows in vivid color how organ donation changes and saves lives.
