91 days until the Transplant Games!

julia's picture

There are only 91 days until the Transplant Games of America begin! I can't wait until I get a transplant and I can participate in some of the sports. This year I am just going as a supporter to see my friends with transplants compete as part of Team Michigan. I think almost every state has a team!

You can find more info here if you want to attend: http://transplantgamesofamerica.org/ 
This year they are in Grand Rapids, MI

Teams fundraise to send their team to the Games. So if you want to participate go on the site and you can find your local team.

Sports include: basketball, swimming, badminton, bowling, cycling, tennis, volleyball, track and field, etc.

I hope to see some of you there!
