The success of medicine which not so long ago must have seemed like an experiment. The games are a demonstration to the world that transplant works. They are even more a testament to the fact that unselfish giving to those in need really works. A transplant athlete is someone whose life has been restored. Someone who can show us that successful transplantation is no theory.
Competition is fierce.
Rivalry is everywhere at the Games. We've talked to people who have trained for years in order to take home a medal. Yet once the games are over, we all go home to our jobs, our families, our routines. The message we can carry is that there is nothing wrong with donation. There is no justification for hesitation in the matter.
