The World Transplant Games and Gratitude

Twitter has helped but I still suck at brevity. For all my TL;DR friends you’re in luck

  • This week I raced my bike in the 2015 World Transplant Games in Mar del Plata, Argentina
  • I pushed the pedals hard and won the 5k time trial
  • I pushed the pedals hard and won the 20k road race
  • This event is full of truly great and humbling stories from across the world.  It was an honor to compete with other amazing transplant athletes.

As we rolled past palm trees and shoreline, sharing scars of donation and transplantation, I introduced Jacob to his first ride along the Pacific Coast Highway.

Two men, one organ.
