NATIONAL KIDNEY FOUNDATION 2010 UNITED STATES TRANSPLANT GAMES
The 2010 National Kidney Foundation United State Transplant Games will take place in Madison, Wisconsin from July 30 through August 4.
The U.S. Transplant Games is a four-day athletic competition for recipients of organ transplants. Competition in the U.S. Transplant 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.
As much as the Games are an athletic event that calls attention to the success of organ and tissue transplantation, it is also a celebration of life among recipients, their families, and friends.
Among 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, and to use the mass media to promote the success of organ donation and transplantation.
