World Transplant Games

The World Transplant Games have officially begun in Argentina today and I am delighted to know some of the British transplantees representing Great Britain there. The fact many of these competitors are physically fitter than alot of non-transplantees their own age shows you how brilliant a quality of life a transplantee can have.
I am also delighted to announce we have over 750 signatures - whoop whoop! Just think if everyone shared this petition and obtained just an extra 2 signatures each then we would have over 2250 signatures already! I watched "Transplant Tales" filmed for BBC 1 Scotland and hearing Lynn Holt talk about how tricky it is to obtain suitable lungs for a lung transplant made me realise the situation was worse than I already thought for those waiting for lungs. You can still catch the fascinating programme on iPlayer by clicking the link below:

You have been absolutely amazing - as daft as it sounds every single signature counts as we're well on our way to our first 1000 signatures. So please do keep raising the topic SHARING this petition because it really does work.
Kindest regards
Lucy Ryan
