A Message From Emily Traylor

Hi everyone! I will be competing with Team Louisiana in the 2024 Transplant Games of America! The Transplant Games is more than just competing in events to win medals; it is about honoring donor heroes and celebrating the gift of life that has given us the ability to continue our journey of life. Because of my selfless donor, I now have a strong and healthy heart. I was a swimmer all my life until my late teens when my heart could no longer keep up. Since transplant, I have been able to run, compete in track, and get back in the water to swim like I once did. I am proud to announce that I will be swimming competitively with Team Louisiana for the 2024 Transplant Games of America! I have set up this fundraising page to help with some of the expenses associated with competing in the Transplant Games of America such as hotel, food, and other necessary expenses associated with the games. Any contribution will be greatly appreciated. I can’t thank you enough for your continued generosity, encouragement, and support. Emily

About LOPA: Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency (LOPA) was established on April 1, 1988 as an independent, not-for-profit organ and tissue recovery agency. LOPA is federally designated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid as the organ procurement organization (OPO) responsible for servicing the state of Louisiana. LOPA is tasked with two main objectives; housing and maintaining the Louisiana Donor Registry, and recovering organs and tissue for transplant. LOPA partners with professionals throughout the state, including eye banks and all hospitals within Louisiana, to accomplish its life saving and enhancing goals. Education is key to this process, and our staff offers a variety of educational opportunities for the public and professionals within our state.
