The Junior Program is designed especially for junior transplant recipients aged from 4-17. This is a unique opportunity for children and teens to shine in a variety of events and activities, meet other kids just like them and hopefully take home a medal for “show and tell”.
Siblings, friends and family can also join in the fun and participate in the Supporter Competitor category in a selected range of sports.
