2009 British Transplant Games - Coventry
Wow ! What a great Games we had. Even the weather was kind … well, kind-ish. The Coventry Games opened in sunshine in University Square and finished with a sunny barbeque day at the athletics track on the Sunday. The atrocious rain wet the cyclists but fortunately all other sports that day were indoors and it had dried off for the spectacular Donor Run which took over Coventry’s War Memorial Park in the evening.
The overall medal tally for the Coventry Team was:
10 Gold
10 Silver
9 Bronze
Won in a wide range of events; from archery to swimming, running to table tennis – in fact we won a medal in virtually every sport. My belief has always been in sport for all and all abilities and I am most proud of team members who didn’t win a medal but did their best and had a fab time.
For me, in my final year (after 18) as Team Manager it was particularly great to welcome new members to the Team. (The secret now is to continue the training right up to Bath 2010 !)
Finally I was very honoured to receive the Dr Peter Griffin Trophy at the Gala Dinner for my contribution to Transplant Sport. I thank everyone who nominated me. I was truly humbled and overcome.
With Warmest Wishes
