I'm grateful to have BEAN Kidney transplanted in 2017. Grateful I taught hundreds more school students, became a fitness trainer to promote fitness and health for a quality life, plus viewed a few more blue skies than expected. I’m truly blessed a TRANSPLANT DONOR gave me the gift of life.
As my gift, competing in the World Transplant Games (WTG2023) is for those who don’t have a TRANSPLANT DONOR yet and may not make it. For those who were blessed with a DONOR and are relieved to have a second chance at life.
Please consider becoming a DONOR. Please consider donating. Your choice makes a difference.
I'm competing in lawn bowls, javelin and pétanque. Am I nervous? You bet. But, I'm determined to make a difference to those recipients waiting on the organ donor transplant list. I’m also determined to highlight how a donor's gift can live on in a community.
Your support helps cover some expenses: registration, uniforms, travel, accommodation... All funds go through Transplant Australia first.
WTG23 15-21 April, 2023 - Perth.
Maria, you are so brave and inspiring. All the best for your competition and the days ahead.
