The Evelina VIPs
Celebrating transplant patients
Thanks to your wonderful support, young transplant patients at Evelina London can take part in the British Transplant Games each year!
The Games are a fantastic way to celebrate life and demonstrate that children who have had transplants can return to fitness.
Five-year-old Riley has been a patient at Evelina London since she was born. She had a kidney transplant two years ago, with her Dad as the amazing donor.
Riley is lucky to lead a largely normal life following her transplant, but she still notices her differences from other children. That’ s one of the reasons that the British Transplant Games are so important, as her mum Tara explains.
‘ Riley doesn’ t often see children who have had a transplant, so it’ s nice for her to spend time with those who are in a similar situation,’
she says.‘ We’ re so pleased to be able to take part in the British Transplant Games. We want more people to know about it as it’ s such a special thing. You can’ t watch an event without a tear in your eye!’
Thank you to all who have fundraised to ensure the Evelina VIPs could compete in 2016.
