Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We are raising funds for the Leeds Children's team to attend the British Transplant games in Medway Kent in August. (Team fund number 5M97). The team consists of 22 children who have had kidney or liver transplants at Leeds Children's hospital, one of them is Erin!

Erin is going to walk a lap of Lanark Loch on Sunday the 29th July. This is a 1 mile walk which may not sound far but as she is only 2 years old this is a big challenge!

The British Transplant games is a yearly event run by Transplant Sport UK. It allows all transplant children, together with their brothers and sisters to take part in a variety of sports including cycling, canoeing, sailing and tennis. For younger children events include running, jumping, obstacle courses etc.

The event is also open to children of adults who have had transplants, so making this a social event where all children can forget the pressures of living in what can be difficult situations, and play sport where they may have found it difficult before.

It also gives the parents the chance to have some time to discuss issues with others in the same situation.

The team philosophy is to have a good time and celebrate the Gift of Life our children have been given. It is a great oppertunity for families to meet, where children effected by organ transplant can socialise and see the benefits of an active life.
