Transplant recipient and
Spokesperson for the Foundation
MHI Heart transplant patient Jean Gravel took part in the 2010 Canadian Transplant Games in August.
In addition to participating in the Golf Tournament, 100m sprint, weight throwing and long jump, Jean Gravel won the gold in the 20km cycling race with a time of 47 min 43 sec. Congratulations, Jean Gravel!
"This has been an extraordinary experience to share with transplant patients from all over the country. Each of us has his or her own story to tell, and we are all happy to be in such good shape and proud to be able to pursue a broad-range of activities after our heart transplant."
For Jean Gravel, taking part in these games is a wish come true after many years. His new goal is to participate in the World Games and Winter Games.
We wish him the very best of luck!
