Story

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor us online.

We are Team Transplant and we are competing in the London Triathlon to raise awareness about the need for organ donation.  Our team is Dick (52) a dialysis patient, awaiting a transplant, Ernesto (43) a transplant recipient and David (49) a transplant surgeon.  We are each planning to complete the full triathlon and wish to raise funds to support Transplant Sport. 

For Dick, this triathlon will help to show people that it is possible to remain fit on dialysis.  It will be a major undertaking for him.  For Ernesto this is an opportunity for him to show how transplantation gave him back a normal quality of life.  For David it is a chance to show the commitment of the medical profession in support of people with organ failure. 

We are doing this together to underline the importance we all attach to finding organs to help the thousands of people waiting for a transplant.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Transplant Sport UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor us now!

Many thanks for your support
