World Transplant Games Federation

Every transplant has a story. Every story has the power to inspire. 💛

Sarah Mitchell was told she might never compete again after her kidney transplant. Just two years later, she stood on the podium with a gold medal.

The World Transplant Games are about so much more than sport. They're about proving what's possible, celebrating the gift of life, and showing transplant recipients around the world that a transplant is not the end of the journey—it's the beginning of a new one.

This is why we celebrate these incredible stories. This is why we keep moving forward.
