Arkansans Compete to Honor Organ Donors

Arkansans Compete to Honor Organ Donors

Author: The Daily News Now! June 8, 2026 Duration: 1:23

Nine Arkansans, once on the brink of life, are training hard to compete in the Transplant Games of America in Denver — a celebration of second chances, resilience, and the incredible gift of organ donation. These athletes, now champions in their own right, will share stories of survival, build bonds with fellow transplant survivors, and honor the donors who gave them life. As they push their limits on the field, they also inspire families waiting — over 400 Arkansans right now — and remind everyone: one donor can change everything. If you can, register to donate at donatelifearkansas.org.
