Ikhlaq Ahmed, Health Records Stores Assistant at the Trust, had a successful summer of sport representing Great Britain and Northern Ireland at the European Transplant Sports Championships (ETSC) in Lisbon, Portugal and the British Transplant Games held in Nottingham. These games raise awareness for organ donation and encourage transplant recipients to lead active lifestyles and provide a valuable opportunity to meet and interact with people who have shared experiences. Ikhlaq won gold in pétanque and silver in darts at ETSC and at the British Transplant Games won gold in the 5k race walk event. He has also been selected to represent Great Britain and Northern Ireland at the 2025 World Transplant Games in Dresden. Ikhlaq said: “The games are a place where I can open up and talk to people about how I’m feeling and how I’m getting on as there is shared lived experience between us. It’s not about who comes first or who is the best, but the main aim is spreading awareness of organ donation as unfortunately, transplant is not a cure and everyone who has had a transplant may need another one in the future. Taking part at the games is amazing as 10 years ago I would be struggling to walk up the road let alone take part in national and international sporting events.” Read more on our website ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eRQzN_Xh #OrganDonation NHS Blood and Transplant
