This week's guest is Jo Windridge, Manager of the England and Wales Transplant Cricket Team. Jo's partner, Robin, received a kidney transplant in 2011 and she has been there for him all the way through the process.

Jo gives an insight into the transplant process and life after a transplant from the point of view of a partner and the impact that has on those around the person who received the transplant. She talks openly about the emotional effect of watching a loved one suddenly become ill, managing worry and the importance of talking to others who have been through similar experiences. She also describes how they taught their daughter about transplants so please stick around if you’ve got young children.

Today's guest is Simon Elmore, Transplant Sport Kids & Teens Coordinator and winner of multiple medals at the British, European and World Transplant Games. Simon's story is inspirational and one that has had many twists and turns along the way. We had a deep and open chat about the struggles faced when being diagnosed with a chronic illness, the traumatic times Simon has faced in his life and the incredible impact Transplant Sport had and continues to have on turning his life around. The importance of looking after your mental health is a running theme throughout this.

I thoroughly urge everyone to listen to this, whether you've had a transplant or have a chronic illness or not, as I think you will learn something from Simon's inspirational story just like I did.

Hello and welcome to Transplants Take On Sport! My name’s Lewis Daniels and I’m mostly made up of the same parts I was born with, the only difference being a kidney my mum donated to me when my kidneys failed. 

As a keen sportsman, when I was told I needed a kidney transplant I wasn’t sure whether I’d be able to continue doing what I love to do. But finding out about the England and Wales Transplant Cricket Club gave me the motivation to one day be part of an inspirational team of players who are in their second innings thanks to the power of organ donation. 

Now part of the team, I’m looking forward to using the gift of life to continue playing cricket and compete in other events at the Transplant Games. 

Join me as I talk to guests from the world of transplant sport who tell their stories, talking through their experiences, overcoming obstacles to live a full and happy life and hopefully inspiring more people who are in the position that we were in. 

You don’t have to be a transplant patient, the podcast really is for every sports fan as we take a light-hearted look into sport, transplants and any other nonsense that might come up.
