After being given a second chance at life, local athlete and kidney transplant recipient Michelle Hounslow is getting ready to compete at the 2024 Canadian Transplant Games taking place later this year.
The Canadian Transplant Games will be hosted at Carleton University alongside other sporting venues in Ottawa from Aug. 3 to 9. The premiere athletic event is a celebration of health and sport for transplant recipients across Canada.
Following a childhood illness, Hounslow faced kidney failure which ultimately led to her receiving a kidney transplant from a living donor. Through this, it allowed her to revisit competitive swimming from local to international levels, and now at the Canadian Transplant Games.
