Leeds Adults Transplant Sports Team
Promoting physical & mental wellbeing post transplant through sport and friendship.
The Transplant Games is the ultimate celebration of the gift of life! It is dedicated to raising awareness of the importance of organ donation and continuing to remember and appreciate organ donors and their families.
Since its debut in Portsmouth in 1978, the games have grown into a four-day event featuring over 20 different activities for over 1000 transplant recipients. Every year, the transplant community comes together at a different location, where teams from various hospitals compete in a wide range of sporting events.
It's not just a competition - it's a chance for transplant recipients to connect, share their stories and inspire others with to have the conversation about organ donation.
Supporting Recipients
Would you like a better quality of life? To get active again post your transplant? To hear and share experiences?
We aim to support recipients in their rehabilitation journey and help them prioritize their fitness, health, and overall well-being.
The sharing of experiences shows us all that we are never truly alone and there is also someone who has gone through something before to reac out to.
Remembering our Donors
We call organ donation The Gift of Life and it truly is the most amazing and wonderful gift!
More than 50,000 people are alive today due to the incredible gift of organ donation - and as you can see from our team, living life to the full!
None of this would be possible without wonderfully generous donors and their families.
We remember this every day and during all of our events - both our donors and their families.
The Transplant Games stand as an annual celebration of transplant patients and donor families.
Participants engage in a variety of sporting events, including running, swimming, cycling, tennis, snooker, squash, volleyball, basketball, darts, badminton, netball, and athletics.
A particularly poignant event is The Donor Run, it serves as a heartfelt tribute to all donors and their families.
