From Cystic Fibrosis to Basketball | Burlington News
Description
Lara Grell, a 39-year-old transplant survivor from Milton, turned her double-lung transplant into a roaring comeback at the Transplant Games of America—where she played basketball, hiked, and celebrated life with thousands of organ recipients and donors. Once confined by cystic fibrosis and forced to quit her job, she now thrives, thanks to an anonymous donor, and this year competed for the first time, embodying resilience and joy. The games, held in Colorado, broke a Guinness World Record and offered her more than medals—she found community, purpose, and a powerful message: organ donation gives others the gift of a second life.
