00:00You've got to be really, really, really dedicated to be a professional athlete, give up everything
00:09else you've got.
00:11After my recovery, I got back into sports immediately.
00:16It's a passion that I have.
00:18For the first time in history, athletes competing at the World Transplant Games will split their
00:23winning medal with their donor's family, who have given them a second chance at life.
00:28Competitors from 46 countries are in Perth taking part in the event.
00:35The people here have all got one thing in common, they're either received or given.
00:43Yeah, a big shout out to everyone that signs up, not just lives, you're saving five or
00:54six families, families not lives.
00:59I wouldn't be here if it was not because of her.
01:03I would not be shining and winning medals.
01:07But it would mean a lot if I won something, like a medal.
01:29But the real medal is not the physical medal, the medal is that I am alive and that medal
01:36for real is for the organ donors.
