Our children's transplant team, the Evelina London VIPs, are taking part in the British Transplant Games, which will be held in Oxford in August 2025. Not only are the team Very Important People but also Very Important Penguins named after our Penguin outpatients clinic.

The games are annual highlight for our children with transplants and their families. The incredible event marks a return to fitness for so many children and provides important peer and family support, all while highlighting the importance of organ donation.

However, a transplant is not a cure - it is a lifelong treatment, and our VIPs will be attending hospital regularly for their entire lives! We want each child to be supported and encouraged to reach their potential, particularly after overcoming obstacles such as long term illness, multiple hospital admissions and operations. The Transplant Games helps our team toward this goal.

We have several fund raising events planned this year. Our annual Evelina London to Southampton Children's Hospital 100 mile cycle will take place in June, while our entire team will take part in the Organ Donor Run which will be held in the grounds of Blenheim Palace on the 2nd August.

Your donations will be allocated to the Paediatric Transplant Fund at Evelina London Children's Charity, and so directly supporting the Evelina London VIPs.

We rely on our Evelina London family. Without you we would not be able to support such an amazing team. On behalf of the children, families and staff at Evelina London, we would like to thank you for your interest and generous support.
