Oxfordshire organ transplant recipients say it “gives life.”

The donation of organs is “life-giving” and will provide recipients with a “new lease of life,” three previously transplanted people told the BBC.

Jack Beever, Blossom Martin and James Lawton are Olympic-style sporting events for people who have undergone organ transplants.

The Multisport Festival will be held in Oxford for the first time next year, with over 1,000 participants set to descend into the city.

“The donation of organs is very important and for all involved, it makes that difference not just for me, but for my family,” Beever said.

Ms. Martin, who had a kidney transplant from her mother two years ago, said, “An organ donation gives life, that win-win for anyone if I can give me a lease of new life and give something to someone else that you don't need.”

The 19-year-old said her transplant “can dedicate more time to what I want to do – that's amazing.”

Explaining what life is like before a kidney transplant earlier this year, Beever said:

“I had it the second, it was just amazing – I had so much energy, I could do more around the house, I could eat anything I wanted, it was amazing.”

He said the organ donation made “this difference for all involved.”

“We wouldn't be here without organ donations,” Lawton said.

All three will compete for Team Oxford in the UK port game, which will take place from July 31st to August 3rd.

In the game, 1,045 athletes, ages 3 to 80, compete against one other person in 25 different sports.

Paul Harden, chairman of charity trample Santo Active, said he is organizing the game.
