Help send Team Upstate New York to the 2006 U.S. Transplant Games, June 16-21, 2006 in Louisville, KY.
The U.S. Transplant Games is a four-day athletic competition among recipients of organ transplants. Competition in the U.S. Transplant Games is open to anyone who has received a lifesaving solid organ transplant--heart, liver, kidney, lung, and pancreas. Bone marrow recipients are also eligible to participate. As much as the Games is an athletic event that calls attention to the success of organ and tissue transplantation, it is also a celebration of life among recipients, their families and friends.
Team Upstate New York is made up of 19 athletes. The athletes represent 1 heart, 2 lung, 7 liver, and 9 kidney transplant recipients.
The current members of Team Upstate New York are:
Ron Barnard Neil Chase Sean Costello
Bernice Eblovi Karen Gledhill Bonnie Haefner
Tom Jansen Smita Jayakar Dave Johnson
Paula McKay Teri Morganti Dan Newhouse
Billy Newsome Jerry Runion Penny Sayles
