Connection to donation/transplantation
I was transplanted at the University of Minnesota Hospital in 2001. I received a kidney from my brother and an anonymous donor pancreas. I was lucky to get the two organs with only one surgery. 

Competitions/Events at the 2022 Transplant Games of America
Swimming: 50 free, 50 breast, 50 back and relays. Track: 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m run and relays. 1500m walk. Long and high jump. Volleyball.

How many Transplant Games have you attended?
All US Games since 2004 in Minneapolis 

Why do you participate in the Transplant Games?
I hope that if people see what can happen to people when they get the gift of life they will think of it and sign up to be a donor. 

One thing you want others to know about donation
It works!
