When was the last time something terrible led you to something incredible? These are the unexpected journeys of four athletes to one of the biggest competitions you’ve probably never heard of.
For me, that “something terrible” was suddenly developing liver failure. And although recovering from that was probably one of the most grueling experiences I’ve ever gone through, it also connected me to some of the kindest, bravest strangers I’ve ever crossed paths with. At the top of the list is my donor – a young man I’ll never meet, who saved my life. His decision to be an organ donor allowed me to get a life-saving liver transplant in January 2022.
President Thomas has heard questions about this approach. For starters, all organ transplants are not the same: they each come with their own particular care regimens and complications. Thomas said he’s heard suggestions to narrow the competition categories even further, so that only competitors with the same transplanted organ compete against one another.
