The 2024 Australian Transplant Games kicked off in Canberra this week at Floriade making the most of over 2500 years of extra life.

The incredible 32-year-old, Jessica McCourt, is delighted to participate after undergoing a lifesaving kidney transplant over 6 years ago.

The competition is open to organ donors and recipients, resulting in rather unique circumstances for Jessica.

“Two kidneys from one person competing in two separate people”, CBR Wrapped’s Gabi exclaimed.
