Katie Taylor and her fellow Irish Olympians were amongst the many well-wishers who sent messages of support to the 26 athletes who will fly out to Zagreb, Croatia today for the 7th European Transplant & Dialysis Games.
Hoping to emulate the recent success of our Olympians at London 2012, 17 men and 9 women, will represent their country and celebrate life through sport as well as promote organ donation.
Kidney transplant recipient Sheila Gregan from Nenagh is on the Irish team – she won a silver medal in the 3km women’s walk event at the World Transplant Games in Sweden last year.
