PETER GRIFFIN AWARD
AND NOMINATIONS
The award is made to an individual(s) who have
made a significant contribution to their transplant
community linked to the charity’s aims and objectives
including the British Transplant Games. This
individual(s) could be a transplanted athlete, but
we know there are so many people that support
transplantation and organ donation, that the award
is relevant to the entire transplant family.
