Send Lisa to The World Transplant Games

Hello my name is Lisa and I have the privilege to have been selected to represent Great Britain at The World Transplant Games to be held in Dresden Germany 17-24th August 2025. I have been selected to compete in 50m and 100m backstroke. These games take place every two years and are supported by the International Olympic Committee. The sporting event represents the largest organ donation awareness event in the world, featuring a week of 17 sporting events. Team GB will join over 1000 other transplant athletes, both juniors , adults and live donors from 60 countries across the globe.

All participants at the World Games have received a lifesaving organ Transplant. I have been lucky enough to receive 2 kidney transplants, my first transplant was in 1990 and my second in 2017. I have represented Team St Helier at the British Transplant Games for many years, mainly in the swimming pool.

In addition to the physical sporting challenge, the World Transplant Games promotes the benefits of organ transplantation and highlights the need for organ donation .

As a member of Team GB, I am required to pay for my own transport, accommodation, registration, kit and to cover the cost of attending two mandatory training days.

I would very much appreciate any financial support you are able to offer to help send me to represent not only my country but my unknown heroes.

To say the words 'thank you' never seems enough for the decision a family and my donor made to live life and then give life. To represent them at The World Transplant Games would be such an honor and privilege and to thank them for The Gift of Life.

Thank you

Lisa x
