Join Rod for the 2024 World Transplant Winter Game

2024 12th World Transplant Winter Games

Bormio, Italy March 3-8

I have a mission to represent the organ transplant community with integrity, knowledge and sportsmanship. By being a USA Transplant Team athlete I have the unique way of communicating the importance of being a donor to a world wide audience. By sharing my story I hope I may inspire someone to fight hard and triumph in their battle for life. One of my passions is supporting the youth at the transplant games. The high fives, the cheers and the smiles are what it is all about. These kids are models of courage and determination.

Unlike other countries around the world. Team USA relies 100% on self-funding and donations from family & friends like you. All funds raised will go to team fees, training and related costs.

I have had the opportunity to meet some extraordinary people throughout my journey. Not everyone has had the opportunity to heal as well as I have. Some have not recovered at all. I am one of the fortunate ones. My mission is also to race on their behalf.

An anonymous man's selfless act gave me this opportunity and it is my job to pay it forward. The ripple effect of your generous contribution goes a long way.

I thank you sincerely,

Rod
