Golf, Doubles golf, Texas hold ‘em poker and darts. 

How many Transplant Games have you attended?
This will be my first Games. 

Why do you participate in the Transplant Games? 
It means I have battled through hell and back to get back to the person I used to be. Being able to get back to doing the things that I love: golf, fish, hunt and family.
