18-year-old Tasnim shares her story of life after a heart transplant two years ago, following a genetic heart condition that severely limited her daily life. Since her recovery, she has been rebuilding through sport and training with other young transplant recipients.

For her, the European Transplant Games are about connection, not competition. Her message: โ€œYouโ€™ve been given a second chance: stay active and make something meaningful out of it.โ€

A new story, created by our partner: LUMC Transplantatie Centrum. Dennis returned to work, sport and training after a liver transplant in 2022 โ€œa new body, a new job.โ€ โ€œItโ€™s different than before, but Iโ€™m also simply a year older, and thankfully so!โ€
His message: if his story inspires just one person to visit a Transfit sports day or the European Transplant Games, itโ€™s worth it. โ€œYou donโ€™t have to do it alone.โ€

A new story, created by our partner: Radboudumc. Marie-Louise donated a kidney anonymously at the age of 67 with one clear goal: to do something meaningful for someone else. Her donation gave another person a second chance at life, and gave her a new perspective on health, recovery, and the emotional impact of organ donation. Today, she looks back with gratitude: โ€œAbove all, Iโ€™m happy that I was able to do this.โ€

When asked why she wanted to donate a kidney anonymously a few years ago, Marie-Louise is very clear: โ€œI wanted to do something meaningful and valuable for someone elseโ€. Several or her relatives had recently passed away. โ€œOthers are dying, and i want to give lifeโ€. Another factor is that sh...

Together, Transplantatie Centrum Utrecht, FC Utrecht and Sportcampus Traiectum support transplant recipients in getting back to sport: both physically and mentally.
At Sportcampus Traiectum, we joined a vitality workshop for the team preparing for the Transplant Football Tournament at the European Transplant Games this June. Training, teamwork, nutrition, and recovery: all focused on getting game-ready. The energy was high, the excitement even higher: โ€œ๐˜โ€™๐˜ฎ ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜บ ๐˜ฆ๐˜น๐˜ค๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ข๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ต ๐˜ช๐˜ต, ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ข๐˜ฃ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ข ๐˜ด๐˜ฑ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ต ๐˜ ๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ.โ€ - Eddy ๐Ÿงก

Initiatives like this truly matter. They show whatโ€™s possible, break barriers, and inspire others to take that first step.

A new story, created by our partners: UMCG Transplantatiefonds. Cora joined Walk & Talk in 2019, unsure if she wanted to share her story after 20+ years with two liver transplants. What she found was more than walking: honest conversations, shared fears, and real connection. โ€œIt feels like a transplant family.โ€
Through illness, loss, and her own third transplant in 2024, that support stayed. โ€œIโ€™m glad I listened back then.โ€
