Several months ago, during a late evening at the British Transplant Games, after celebrating the incredible accomplishments of our Kings Children's Team, someone suggested cycling from London to Paris to raise money for the next games in Oxford this summer. And so, here we are—a group of not-so-fit adults (and one child) connected by a shared bond with some remarkable children, all of whom have received a life-saving liver transplant.

There are eight of us cycling to Paris (with one more in a support car), and an additional four tackling the challenging first leg from King’s Hospital in London to Newhaven on the south coast. Over the course of four days, we’ll cover a total of 400 km. Please consider donating to this vital cause, which supports the children who participate in the games.

The Transplant Games is a hugely important event for our transplant recipients - it gives them confidence, access to a range of activities and most importantly, time with people who are just like them! Who understand their experiences, medications and challenges. As they navigate growing up feeling a little 'different', the Games enables them to step into a world where those differences are shared and celebrated.
