A Message From Roy Blain

Hello family and friends, Please help support Roy & Team Louisiana in their fundraising efforts to attend the 2022 Transplant Games of America in San Diego, CA this summer. The TGA are for solid organ, tissue and eye transplant recipients, living donors & donor families. The games are an Olympic style competition against others who share the same story. The games are held every other year in the USA. Roy has attended the past three games (2014, 2016, 2018, 2020 was canceled due to the pandemic). The athletes are awarded “Olympic” medals in the sport they participate in. Roy has medaled in cornhole and doubles bowling. This year Roy will be celebrating his 10th heart anniversary. His donor (angel) was 35 years old - Joshua C. Lorenz. Without his donor family’s decision he would not be able to enjoy his second chance at life. We are connected to this family forever. If you can donate anything no matter how small, it will be so appreciated. The deadline is May 15, 2022. In addition, your donation is tax deductible. Please feel free to share with your family and friends too. Love always, Roy and Debbie
