Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
I will be competing in the following events, alongside many other transplant athletes & living donors;
1. Birmingham 10k - Sunday 6th May
2. European Transplant Games in Sardinia - 17th to 24th June
3. British Transplant Games in Birmingham - 2nd to 5th August
As a transplant recipient, I am only alive today because of a very kind stranger (my hero) who was on the donor register. I am so grateful & want to give something back as a way of saying thank you.
Transplant Sport UK is a charity & like so many other deserving causes, it receives no Government funding. I am required to pay for my own kit, transport, accommodation & any other associated costs in taking part. Transplant Sport UK provide an opportunity for those who have received a transplant to truly 'celebrate the gift of life' & inspire family & friends, who might be going through a very difficult journey, that there is hope & 'life after transplant'.
Transplant Sport UK provide a rare PR opportunity to generate regional, national & international media coverage via www.transplant.org.uk & www.wtgf.org. If you would like more information as to how you can benefit from becoming involved, you can contact the Team GB Manager, Lynne Holt on 07900014344 or lholt@home.3b.co.uk
