2008 National Kidney Foundation U.S. Transplant Games in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The U.S. Transplant Games is a four-day athletic competition for recipients of organ transplants. Competition in the Games is open to anyone whose most recent lifesaving solid organ transplant— heart, liver, kidney, lung, pancreas and/or heterologous bone marrow— has been functioning for at least 6 months. The purposes of the U.S. Transplant Games are:To demonstrate to the public the collective and individual successes of the life-restoring therapy of organ transplantation; to use the mass media to promote the success of organ donation and transplantation and to call attention to the need for organ donation; to contribute to the successful rehabilitation of the nation's transplant patient community and to involve the entire transplant community including physicians, allied professionals, patients, donor families and related organizations in a collaborative effort for the benefit of organ donation. For more information about the Games, visit www.transplantgames.org.
