Connection to donation/transplantation 
I participated in a paired kidney donation to enable the husband of a work friend from the 90’s, when I worked at Mayo Clinic in AZ, receive the kidney he needed. There were three recipients and three donors in our pairing. The grandfather who received my kidney lives in Vermont.  

Competitions/Events at the 2024 Transplant Games of America

How many Transplant Games have you attended?

Why do you participate in the Transplant Games? 
To encourage organ donation & connect with others.
