The 13th European Heart & Lung Transplant Games
(30th June - 4th July 2010))

Växjö - Sweden

The European Heart & Lung Transplant Games are held every two years and this year (2010) the 13th Games will be 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 .

For more information on Växjö and surrounding area, go to the Municipality of Växjö web site.

This is the first time since their inception in 1989 that the Games have been staged in Sweden. Hosting the 2010 Games is the National Heart and Lung Transplant Association, VIKING.   

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

For any first timers or those who are 'just thinking about it' and would like  more information, please contact Freeman Sports Team Manager, Graham Marsh for a chat.   No selection is required.
