Carrying the card is a good start - but you need to register too.

The European Heart & Lung Transplant Games are held every two years and this year (2010) the 13th Games was held in the beautiful city of Växjö which is located in the south of Sweden in an area called Smãland - the spelling is peculiar even by Swedish standards .

A review of the Games

The Games began with the opening ceremony and parade
on Wednesday 30th June
and ended with the closing ceremony and gala dinner
on Sunday 4th July 2010.

The GB Team is managed by David Walker and we (Freeman transplant patients) automatically become members of the British Heart & Lung Transplant Association -  BHLTA.   

Our own Judith Burgess is secretary.   Graham Marsh and Joan Whitney also sit on the committee of the BHLTA.

A team of 13 competitors and 4 supporters from the Freeman Sports Team attended these Games and managed to bring home a grand total 45 medals between them.  These were 18 Gold, 19 Silver and 8 Bronze which is the most we have ever achieved.

A very big thank you and well done to everyone who took part.  Below is a list of names of all the competitors and what medals they achieved.
