Meet eight-year-old Cruz, who brought home two medals from this year’s British Transplant Games after receiving a kidney transplant at Evelina London Children’s Hospital! The British Transplant Games sees hospital teams and transplant patients from across the UK compete in 25 different sports events with the aim of raising awareness of the need for organ donation. Cruz, who was born with a rare kidney condition and has been a patient at Evelina London all his life, helped the Evelina London VIPs Transplant Games team bring home a whopping 38 medals this year! Looking back on the day, mum Debbie said: “The kidney transplant has completely transformed Cruz’s life. The games were our first ever holiday together. Before his transplant, going on holiday or even taking short breaks was difficult because Cruz needed dialysis four times a week. “He is much more active now and can take part in sports without any issues. Seeing him enjoying himself, taking part in the events and winning medals was an emotional moment for me. A year ago, he was still on dialysis. It’s amazing to see how far he has come.” Congratulations to Cruz and all the Evelina London VIPs who took part in this year’s British Transplant Games!
