The 31st British Transplant Games are coming to Sheffield.
The Games were inaugurated in 1978 in Portsmouth by Maurice Slapak, who at the time was a Consultant Transplant Surgeon. Approximately 100 participants took part in the first Games in a one day event. Over the past 30 years, the British Transplant Games has grown to a four day annual event for over 600 competitors and nearly 1000 supporters.
The aim of The Games is to encourage transplant patients to regain fitness and to promote friendship and co-operation between individuals concerned with transplantation, whilst increasing public awareness of the value of organ donation.
This event is organised on behalf of the Transplant Sport UK (TSUK).
