Honor the Journey

Team MN-DAK consists of athletes and support members who participate in various events at the Donate Life Transplant Games of America. Our athletes hail from Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and western Wisconsin and have received an organ, bone marrow, tissue or corneal transplant; or are a living donor or donor family member.

By competing in the Donate Life Transplant Games of America, we honor our donors, donor families and celebrate life. Celebrate your donor(s) precious gifts and show what more life has given you.

Very simply put, my transplant experience was like going from feeling that life was ending to knowing my life had a new beginning. Although I don’t know who my donor is, I’m trying to pay respect to them and their family for the gift they gave by making the most of every day. Encouraging donation and education for a healthier lifestyle are two ways of doing this.

About Transplant Games of America

Transplant Games is a festival-style event produced by the Transplant Life Foundation for individuals who have undergone life-saving transplant surgeries. Competition events are open to living donors, organ transplant recipients, bone marrow, corneal and tissue transplant recipients.

More than an athletic event, the Donate Life Transplant Games highlight the critical importance of organ, eye, and tissue donation, while celebrating the lives of organ donors and recipients.
