This team was 1st set up in 2020 for the Coventry Games which unfortunately were cancelled due to Covid. After a long break the team are now looking forward to Leeds 2022.

Thank you for visiting our team page - we are fundraising for the British Transplant Games Fund D2338

King’s runs the largest liver transplantation programme in Europe and carries out some 50 paediatric transplants per year. Every year around 20 King’s transplant children and their families attend the British Transplant Games; we want to grow this team to enable more children to share the benefits.

Although most children return to a normal life after transplant, they are left with scars, and many experience psychological effects. They will usually need lifelong medication; frequent hospital appointments; blood tests and other procedures; and are more susceptible to illness and infection. The differences from their peers can make transplant children feel very isolated.

Being part of a team provides support long after the event, and creates lifelong memories. With King’s patients coming from across the country, the Transplant Games is an important way to bring families together and encourage children to strive to reach their potential.
