Over this bank holiday weekend here in my home town there’s a sporting event going on. Not the Olympics, though that would be cool. In actual fact I am miles more excited about this one.
It’s the Transplant Games, an opportunity for people who have had organ transplants to compete.
Just think about that for a second. These men and women (and children) have had major surgery and still want to get out there and run, throw and whatever. For me that is even more impressive then some of those competing in London who have been handheld the way through, not to diminish their achievement of course. I’m heading up to watch some of it over the weekend.
Now here’s the thing. Given the Olympics, given the Paralympics next week and the Transplant Games this weekend, what excuse will the bloaters give for stuffing their face with crap or not doing any exercise? How they can be so gross when even a 6 year old can run a race after having surgery?
AMEN , brother!
