Jaimee Wins at Great British Transplant Games

Jaimee Luscombe in Year 9 recently achieved some great successes at the Great British Transplant Games. She competed and won a silver medal in long jump and a gold in the 3km time trial. She has also been picked to represent team GB in the World Transplant Games.

As Jaimee received a kidney transplant a number of years ago she immediately qualified for the chance to take part.

Jaimee said of her experience; u201cI took part because it is an amazing experience and I felt very proud of myself because everyone I competed against also had transplants of different kinds. It is also nice to show what a difference it can make to people in need of a transplant when you sign up to the Organ Donation Register – it not only helps many people to live but to be able to achieve things they never thought possible.u201d

As the Great British Transplant Games are annual, Jaimee hopes to compete again in her main sport, which is cycling. Well done Jaimee
