Many, many thanks to Hythe Lawn Tennis Club for choosing KKPA as their Club Charity for 2020!
Flagship project of the Transplant Sport Charity.
The British Transplant Games are the flagship project of the charity Transplant Sport and have been in existence for over 40 years when the first “Transplant Olympics” took place in Portsmouth in 1978. At that time, these Games were an international event and included teams from France, Greece and even the USA.
Since these early beginnings with competitors, affectionately known as “99 blooming miracles”, the Games have grown and are held every year in different cities throughout the UK. The British Transplant Games have been staged annually since 1978 in 17 host cities across the UK including Portsmouth (1994), Belfast (1998), Edinburgh (2007), Medway (2012), Sheffield (2013), Bolton (2014), Gateshead, Newcastle (2015),
Liverpool (2016). North Lanarkshire (2017) & Birmingham (2018).
The Games Leeds 2021
The Games aim to demonstrate the benefits of transplantation, encouraging transplant patients to regain fitness, whilst increasing public awareness of the need for more people to join the NHS Organ Donation Register and discuss their wishes with their families. They also seek to thank and celebrate donor families and the gift of life.
