The British Transplant Games began today in Leeds, with over 850 transplant recipients from as young as five years old participating in over 25 sporting events from 28th – 31st July.
Best of luck to Lucy Young and her fiancée Zoe Buchanan who will be competing in the badminton event at the games, with hopes of going on to compete in the European Transplant and Dialysis games later this summer.
