THE World Transplant Games is known as the largest sporting event for organ transplant recipients in the world.
From Sat 15 to Fri 21 Apr, Perth will host over 1,500 athletes and supporters from more than 50 countries.
The Games is a global celebration of the gift of life - organ and tissue donation.
It will provide an opportunity to showcase the success of transplantation through the lives and athletic feats of transplant recipients.
This event aims to not only help raise awareness of the importance of organ and tissue donation, it will also promote a second chance of life as transplant recipients compete in high exertion and low-impact sports.
The seven-day program features 17 different sporting competitions, ranging from athletics to tenpin bowling.
This will be the third Games in Australia, with previous events held in Sydney in 1997 and the Gold Coast in 2009.
This event is one of many major sporting events coming to Australia as part of the green-and-gold decade of events.
