Show Notes

The Transplant Games of America (TGA) are festival-style games for individuals who have had an organ, tissue, cornea, or bone-marrow transplant. Living organ donors can participate in the games as well. Donor family members, transplant professionals, and other supporters attend to be a part of the magical celebration of life.

The games were postponed in 2020 and rescheduled for July of this year. Although they won't be in person, Randy Oyaski, northeast manager for Team Ohio, reports on the games' structure for this year and how the tradition of celebrating life given and received will continue.
