The British Transplant Games will be held at the University of Bath this summer.

800 competitors who have recieved donated organs will compete over the weekend of 20th to 22nd August. Information is at http://www.transplantsport.org.uk/page.asp?section=0001000100040012

James Tottle, who has lived on Claverton Down since 1976, will be competiting this year. He had a heart transplant in 1997. While on the transplant waiting list he wrote the song ‘Cut me some slack’, available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVg30wgscu0, as a chartity song.

I am very happy to link to this here, as I am to urge registration for organ donation. I’m a registered organ donor as it pleases me to think that my (possible) unplanned death will be good news even to people who don’t know me.
