For Sweta Sachan, her scar is more than a reminder of surgery—it is her Raksha Bandhan. 💚

Her brother didn’t simply promise to protect her; through the gift of organ donation, he became her protection and gave her a second chance at life. A powerful symbol of love, sacrifice and the extraordinary bond between siblings.

🌍 MY FIRST WORLD TRANSPLANT GAMES

For kidney transplant recipient Koji Ishizuka from Japan, the 2025 World Transplant Games in Dresden were about far more than competition.

After facing a life-threatening illness, Koji returned to sport alongside athletes who had overcome their own extraordinary journeys. The experience brought a powerful sense of gratitude, connection and hope—and winning gold in the javelin made his first Games even more unforgettable. 🥇🇯🇵

As Koji beautifully shares:

“Sport taught me that it is okay to live, to connect, and to move forward.”

Which was your first World Transplant Games, and what made it special?
