Who is TeamNM?

We are the transplant recipients, athletes, donor family members, living donors, families, friends, healthcare professionals, and spectators from all around New Mexico who will proudly represent this region at the 2008 U.S. Transplant Games.

Join the Team!

The U.S. Transplant Games is a four-day athletic competition among recipients of all organ and bone marrow transplants held every two years at sites all over the continental U.S.  The Games consist of 12 sports and 41 events.

As much as this very special event is an athletic competition that calls attention to the success of organ and bone marrow transplantation, it is also an incredible celebration of life among recipients, their families, and friends.   Transplant recipients who do not physically qualify to compete are encouraged to join the local team and attend the Games as spectators so that they can be a part of this gathering of recipients.

Purpose of The Games:

• To demonstrate to our nation's public the collective and individual successes of the life-restoring therapy of organ and bone marrow transplantation
• To contribute to the successful rehabilitation of our nation's transplant patient community
• To involve the entire transplant community-- including it's physicians, health care professionals, patients, donor families and related organizations-- in a worldwide collaborative effort for the benefit of organ donation awareness.

When are The Games:

The Transplant Games take place in Pittsburgh, PA over July 11th-15th, 2008.
