Western Cape Transplant Sports Association

Western Cape Transplant Sports Association We provide, through sports and physical activities, an info and support network for transplant recipients in the Western Cape.

Our vision as a purpose-driven sports organisation is to be a leader in optimising the quality of life of organ transplant recipients, and through sports and other physical activities, promote organ donation and transplantation. From the time that the Western Cape Transplant Sports Association was constituted as an affiliate of the South African Transplant Sports Association in 2014, it has been the objective to become a part of the larger Western Cape sports community and to get people who have received an organ transplant, to return to active sports participation.

💚 August is Organ Donor Awareness Month.

This month, we honour the incredible gift of organ donation and celebrate the lives made possible through transplantation.

Our Western Cape Transplant Sports Association volunteers are living proof that life after transplant can be full of possibility, purpose and sport. 🏃‍♀️🏆

Without our donors, we would not be here. ❤️

Pop into **Chris Barnard Memorial Hospital (CBMH)** and chat to one of our athletes about life post-transplant and hear their inspiring stories.

Wrap-up from the Western Cape Transplant Sports Association team at Groote Schuur Hospital!

A huge thank you to our co-ordinator, Nadeema Madatt, and all the incredible volunteers who joined us between 09:00 and 12:00 today.

We had fantastic conversations with hospital staff, transplant recipients and visitors, sharing our stories of health, recovery and transplant sport.

We reached 15 newly interested members, of which were 4 transplant recipients, 1 person currently waiting for a transplant, and 1 donor.

It was a really positive day for transplant sport awareness and connecting with the GSH community.
