2006 US Transplant Games

Back


The U.S. Transplant Games is a four-day athletic competition among recipients of organ transplants. Competition in the U.S. Transplant Games is open to anyone who has received a lifesaving solid organ transplant--heart, liver, kidney, lung, and pancreas. Bone marrow recipients are also eligible to participate. As much as the Games is an athletic event that calls attention to the success of organ and tissue transplantation, it is also a celebration of life among recipients, their families and friends.

I was at the Donor Recognition Ceremony. Camera quit just as I was going to to take my son's picture. Guess what the video showed? MY SON: KENNETH SAPP! HOW AWESOME! Of the hundreds of photo's being shown, they got Kenneth for me! KENNETH saved 3 lives in January of 2004.

I have never heared a false organ like in the beginning of this video.....
Great respect to all the people who are transplanted and give such great hope to other people in samelike situations and wake a lot of people about beeing a donor. A friend of me is on this right moment in Bangkok for the transplantgames I pray for him and wish him a lot of breath (he's a "lung")
