ATTENTION TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS

The National Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin coordinates Wisconsin transplant recipients of any life-saving organ (heart, lung, liver, bone marrow, pancreas or kidney) who want to attend the bi-annual NKF U.S. Transplant Games. You don't have to be a world-class athlete to be a part of Team Wisconsin.

Check out the Transplant Games website for more information. The 2008 NKF U.S. Transplant Games were held in Pittsburgh, July 11 - 16.

You can meet the 2008 Team and watch their progress on the Official Team Wisconsin blog - http://gamesteamwi.blogspot.com/

The 2010 NKF U.S. Transplant Games will be July 30 - August 4 in MADISON, WI!  For general information about the Games, e-mail gamesinfo@kidneywi.org .
