Thanks so much for a terrific event. The rain couldn't dampen
anything but our skin, hair and shoes. Enthusiasm and spirit
were untouched! You folks did a great job.
I didn't make it to the opening ceremonies early enough to
get good pin-swapping time in so I've got several N. Texas
pins if anybody wants some. There are many I didn't get
(only about 13 or so). email 2crosses@msn.com

Hi my name is JoAnn Arroyo, I am a Transplant
recepient of a Kidney/Pancreas on 9-26-98. I was at the
transplant games of 2002 in Orlando,Florida. I would like
to know why aren't we on TV. We want to have everyone
looking at us and to get the message out. I am with
Team Southern California. Our Team Manager is the
Director of the National Kidney Foundation in Los
Angeles her name is JEANETTE MARTINZ.
What she did was to give up one of her Kidneys to one of
our Teammates name Julie S. she is doing great. She was
not doing that great when she was on Dialysis. Jeanette
desided to Donate one ofher Kidney's to save her life.
Her parents and boyfriend did not want her to do it.
I thought we could be on National TV. Like Channel 2,4,5,
7,9,11,13, and Channel 34 cable is Channel 6,15,16 these
channels are the spanish channels. This is the way to get
the Message Out About Donating your organ or your can give
part of Liver, give up one Kidney,one Lung. There is too
many of us on the waiting list. When I was transplanted the
list was only 65,000 people waiting for a Organ. Now we are
year 2002 and the list is about 85,000 people waiting. All
you have to do is if you have a love one that died just
tell the doctor that you want your parents, or who ever
they are to use their Organs, eye, things like that.
And they will give that persons body back to you
for a burial. This way the list get shorter not longer.
But it's up to you to save lifes. I would put example to
you all. If it was your son or daughter or some love one
you know you would want someone to donate and Organ
to save your son or daughter or a love one right. So
think about these people waiting on this list there is
some have waited now for 5 years or longer. But some do
not make it, they die. Also please think about the children
who are dying.
But first think about your kids if you have any. If you
don't have any kids than donate one of your Kidney's,Lung,
Part of a Liver-called a Split Liver Transplant.
Thank you very much
JoAnn Arroyo

Hi Everyone,
First of all...what an amazing experience! It was such a wonderful
oasis of love, gratefulness, and awe for life. Truly one of the
very best things I have ever been a part of!
Second, I lost my disposable camera! It only has about 10 or so
pictures on it. It is a green fujifilm camera, and the first
pictures taken on it were of some bamboo at our hotel. If anyone
picked it up, and happened to develop it, and happens to see
this email, it belongs to me...I would be more than
happy to send you the money for the developing and shipping.
My name is Laura Ellsworth, and I'm from Team Oregon/Washington.

if you find it! Thanks again, everyone. What a special

I understand that there were donor pins given at the ceremony. Are the

As the daughter of a kidney transplant recipient, i had my first chance
to go to the games this year. It was my Dad's 2nd time, by for me
and my sister as spectators it was our first. We would like to thank
our team manager and his wife, Jack and Janet Arnold for doing all that
they did for us over the last 2 years. We had a great time at the
games, but i think that we had an even better time at our pizza
party outside of LOVE BUG 7. We had a great time in Florida and
we cannot wait for the games in 2004, where my sister and I will be
with our Dad. He is a great man and without his 2nd chance at
life, I dont know where we would be without him. Thanks for all
you do Dad. The bowling lanes would not have been the same without
you.
Love you all from TEAM WESTERN NEW YORK!!

Congratulations to NJ's Al Jones for winning his bowling division by a
mere two pins. By participating in his first Transplant Games, Al finally
admitted that all he has been through has been pretty amazing. He
especially loved the march into the stadium for Opening Ceremonies,
and seeing the many age groups participating in all the events. As his
local bowling writer I appreciate the web pages detailing the results
and will do everything from my end to publicize the games and organ
donor awareness through my weekly column. On my driver's license I
have indicated I want to be a donor for every and any organ possible.
I hope this example will encourage my friends and fellow bowlers to
do the same. Al is a living tribute to a wonderful program and to
the games as well. I look forward to his participation as a
"defending champion" next year!

Aloha,
I am from Hawaii, but you probably knew that from the beginning.
But, as I look through the pictures, I noticed there are hardly any
pictures of the donors. I know the games are for the recipients, but I
think the donor families need a bit more recognition. Not meaning from Hawaii,
I mean all of us. I am a donor Mom, and enjoyed much of the games and such.
Respectfully, Eydie
From the Editor:
I am really glad you got to attend the Games and that you had a memorable time there!
Because so many of the donor family events were closed to non-donor families, we could
not cover them. We did cover the recognition ceremony, the quilt pinning, and part of
the coffee house. There are also many donor family photos in the opening ceremonies.
Sorry, this was the best we could do, given the restrictions.

some screen printed)
I am a lung transplant patient and was at the games (lost brutally at women's
racquetball) and one of our team co-captains. I just wanted to let you know that I do
those shirts and people can reach me at 2crosses@msn.com and my website is
http://communities.msn.com/TheThreadBear.
Organ donor awareness shirts and caps are all I do (in addition to speaking for
Southwest Transplant Alliance and to patients and their families and leading a small lung
transplant support group. I' don't make a profit but I can't afford the $500 to get a NPO
certificate.
If you'd like to check me out with Southwest Transplant Alliance, Pam Silvestri is the
lady I work with as a volunteer. Her email address is psilvestri@organ.org. I'm sure she
would vouch for me. I am hoping you will mention my site as so many of my team mates
have told me that people were asking about the shirts.
If you want to see them, you guys have a picture of me
wearing one of the embroidered shirts in the racquetball section (pictures #4 & #20) and
one of the silk screened ones of one of my team mates in the badminton section
(picture #5).

Hi again,
Thanks for your reply to my request for times in the cycling events.
Not really typing back just to Thank You for your reply though, more to
address your request that i mention to everyone else to 'check back at
TransWeb for their own fun, info.
Yes, I finally DID figure out that your site was down for a while, and
that 'on the most important day' (emotional momentum wise), but You might be
worrying too much about people giving up on your site; I had simply
thought that your site had become "Too Popular" and the server had
crashed from it, or that your system simply had 'too many requests' all at once,
and i'd check back once all the other transplants got done checking for
themselves.
I'd feel comfortable that most everyone who intended to go look, will
eventually 'go look' again, and deduct that they are simply catching your site at a
better time. Most Computer users, even some of the newer ones, understand a site
being 'overloaded' and would check back.
I D I D notice that in your Track & Field article though, that at
the top (before the Headline) that you had a link for Results as well as the
Story, Audio & Photog creditsand just thought that the RESULTS for the
cycling would show up alongside the Cycling Event too.
Didn't think of going to the NKF site for the times, but now will.

Dear Eleanor,
I am writing this to commend transweb.org and its staff for the
wonderful coverage of the 2002 transplant games in Orlando. In 2000, I
attended the games, competed in table tennis and in fact, came home with
a bronze medal. Actually, it was won by default because twice my
opponents didn't show up. Although I checked out the coverage in 2000,
I was unable to hear the audio pages. I have webtv and at that time, we
couldn't connect to the audio files.
This year I was unable to attend but followed the coverage every day
from Wednesday on. And the most wonderful part, the audio came in loud
and clear. I listened to each and every speech and it was the best
thing next to going to the games. I have yet to listen to the closing
ceremonies which I will do tomorrow. I was delighted to hear that Jim
Gleason received the adult award this year. I had been corresponding
to Jim whom I came in contact through the support listserve group about
3 years ago. It was with his encouragement that I wrote my own story,
Iris At Home and Iris' Transplant Story. We met in person at the 2000
Transplant Games.
Two years ago, Bert Steiner, president and founder of our Have a Heart
Support group here in south Florida, was given the award, and we were
there to see it.
Again, my thanks and appreciation to the staff for bringing the 2002
games into our home. I'll probably spend the next few days checking out
all the photos that were taken and shown on the site.
Heartfully yours,

HI TransWeb,
This site is looking greater & greater. You all must be working 25 hours
a day on this. Favor though please, As to the lateness of the day, the
SOMERSPORTS people told us all that you would indeed have the 20k Cycling
Times posted, as they didn't/couldn't get them processed at the end of
Saturday. I know which 'place' I finished, I just have no idea of the
Winners 'winning' time, and how much further back I was. Sure would
appreciate you posting the times for both the 1k & 20k Cycling events too!
Thanks for a superb site,

Hello, Transweb!
I've enjoyed your site! And I enjoyed the games!!
I'm back home now, Texas, and trying to rest, at work, from my vacation.
I competed in the games in Women's singles tennis (30-39). Unfortunately,
the film was ruined that evidenced my performance at the
games. I wonder if you had any you could send me via email at
grodriguez@piperpowers.com so that I can print them and have them for
my memories. I participated for Team Texas (South & Central). Thank you.

Hey Transweb Folks:
Fantastic coverage. Pictures, stories etc. are so wonderful. That you
would spend your time and energy covering this event in such detail is
truly both a blessing to the participants and an source of inspiration
and encouragement to recipients unable to attend as well as those on the
waiting list.
No criticism intended, as your task is monumental, but I am
"misidentified" in the photos from the "Opening Ceremony". While it is
true, many would say I am a "maniac" I am the team manager for Team
Virginia as well as a double lung recipient. The very large crab on my
head is a tribute to the state of Virginia - world renown for its

Thank you.

Hello Team Mississippi,
As much as I wanted to attend the Transplant games with you this
year it just wasn't meant to be. Now, I may have an idea why
this did not work out for me and my family.
On Wednesday afternoon of this week, I received a telephone
call from an associate producer of a TV production company in
California concerning my upcoming meeting of my donor's family
in Atlanta, GA next month. They are interested in possibly
covering that occasion to be used in a TV segment entitled
"Life Moments" beginning this September. If I had been in
Orlando???? I have thought of all of you each day and
am now planning to be a part of Team Mississippi in 2004.

Fox, who is a liver transplant
recipient won the Bronze!
We are really excited for John, and sorry we couldn't be at the games this year.
They are truly a celebration of the miracle of
transplantation.
Guess what John? - Today - Saturday - is the day for your real workout! -
Today is the day for the 50 free, 100 free, and the 400 medley
relay! I think you'll be tired!
John will be a senior at Pocono Mountain this year, and will be back on
the swim team there. - Best of luck today, we love you, and we
want you home safe.

Hi!
My name is Jeremy Foley and I am at the Transplant Olympics for the first
time. Two years ago when the last games were being held, I was too sick
as I was still waiting for my small intestine transplant. I received the
"Gift of Life" on 7/6/2000 at the University of Miami (Jackson Memorial
Hospital) and I am doing pretty well now.
Yesterday, I particiated in a 50 yard dash. I did OK, although I did not
get a medal. Tomorrow, I will have two swimming events, plus my dad and
I are doing the 5K Walk for Organ Donation. I raised almost $300.00 for
this great cause!
I am so glad that the Transplant Olympics are being held. The Opening
Ceremony was truly awesome on Wednesday and I have made a lot of new
friends. I am so grateful to my donor's family for giving me a second
chance at life. I am thankful to all of the doctors and nurses that took
such good care of me when I first got sick in Greenville, SC, and to my
wonderful Pediatric Transplant Team at UMiami. Without all of you, I
wouldn't be here!

Unfortunately, our connectivity went down just before we finished at 4 this morning,
