The Evelina London VIPs are a children's transplant sports team. The team is comprised of children who received a kidney transplant and who are under the long term care of the transplant team at Evelina London Children's Hospital.

A kidney transplant is a lifelong treatment, not the cure many people think! Having a child with a significant health condition impacts everyone in the family and our annual trip to compete at the British Transplant Games is about encouraging fitness but also to encourage "Support through Sport" for the whole family.

Our little boy has been cared for by the amazing team for many years now. The Evelina is an incredibly special place and has provided our family the support we never realized we needed.

Your contribution will allow families in similar positions to attend the games, have fun and be with others and celebrate what is possible while negotiating the complexities of significant health conditions. In short it provides a space to breathe and to hope.

Throughout July we will be doing a series of fundraising activities where we can! Fundraising will end with the Organ Donor Run which will take place during the British Transplant Games on Saturday 3rd August. Around 150 of us VIPs will run/walk/scoot the 3/5km track to thank Organ Donors while raising the need for continued organ donation while raising much needed money to make this event possible!
