BRITISH TRANSPLANT GAMES
30th July – 2nd August 2015
BE A PART OF IT!
Once again I would like to introduce myself, my name is Zoë Dixon and I am your Manchester Adults Transplant Games Team Manager. I have taken part in British and World Games for the last 15 years and am keen to build up our team membership, in order to do this I need your help.
The team includes kidney transplant recipients and bone marrow/stem cell transplant recipients from Lancashire and South Cumbria, Manchester and North Cheshire and welcomes new members of any age or sporting ability, it might even inspire you to take up something new! It is a unique opportunity to share in giving thanks to all donor families, to demonstrate the healthy and active lifestyle that can be achieved after transplantation, to raise awareness of organ donation and celebrate the gift of life!
If you would like to take part in the British Transplant Games 30th July – 2nd August 2015 in Newcastle/Gateshead then get in touch with me now for full details. Registration opens in February and the closing date for entries is 15th May 2015.
