  • De Wereld Transplantatie Spelen of World Transplant Games (WTG) worden elke twee jaar georganiseerd. De Zomerspelen en de Winterspelen wisselen elkaar daarbij om het jaar af. De Spelen zijn bedoeld als eerbetoon aan de donoren en hun families. Ook probeert men via de sport het belang van orgaandonatie te promoten. Dat blijkt succesvol, in de landen waar de Spelen zijn geweest is het aantal donoren gestegen. De Spelen duren een week en kennen een openings- en sluitingsceremonie. Tijdens de week wordt door de sporters en hun supporters een mars gelopen als een presentatie aan de stad. (nl)
