Donor Activities
The Transplant Games are forever growing with an increase of Australians touched by donation. Donor families and living donors are no exception.
In 2012, we hope to welcome the largest attendance of donor families and living donors yet. Organisers have developed a great schedule of donor activities with more events and sports than ever before. This is what is confirmed so far (and more is in the pipeline).
March at the Opening Parade and Ceremony
At every Games, donor family members and living donors march into the Opening Ceremony in a tribute to their loved ones and celebrate their decision to donate. The traditional march commences before the Opening Ceremony and joins the procession of each state team. A special banner and shirt will be provided to all registered living donors and donor families.
More Sports
Living donors and donor family members will be eligible to compete in more sports and games which include; mini marathon, chess, swimming events, cycling, golf, backgammon, track and field, petanque, ten pin bowling and tennis.
Australian Donor Family Quilt and Quilt Display
Transplant Australia will display the Australian Donor Family Quilt at the Transplant Games. The Quilt will display patches made by donor families in memory of their loved ones. You can participate in this project by contacting Julie Edwards from the National Office at julie.edwards@transplant.org.au
