Emmy O’Neill thought she was training for a triathlon - it turned out she was training for a transplant

Emmy O'Neill always knew that she might need a new kidney, she just didn't know when that would happen, and that along the way she reconnected with sport and a whole new community. You can find out more about Transplant Australia and their incredible sports programs here. And for me about disability sport options, check out the Australian Sporting Alliance for people with a Disability. Finally, for Emmy and all those currently sitting on a transplant waitlist, we'd ask you to take a moment and register to be an organ and tissue donor...
