Connection to donation/transplantation 
My son, John, passed away in 2010 and healed lives through tissue donation. 

Competitions/Events at the 2022 Transplant Games of America 
I am participating in the 5K and donor memorial events. 

How many Transplant Games have you attended?
This will be my second Games. 

Why do you participate in the Transplant Games?
I participate to raise awareness about what it means to be a donor. I am so proud of my son for being a donor.  

One thing you want others to know about donation.
Seeing all of the transplant recipients who participate in the Games is a reminder of how important it is to be a donor.
