Transplant Hub Conversations - Meet Liz Schick

The World Transplant Games Federation introduces Virtual Video Chats called ‘Transplant Hub Conversations’.
Our aim is to share stories from people around the world, who have been affected by organ donation and transplantation in some way. In sharing these stories, we hope to inspire, uplift, and give hope to those who are at various stages in their transplant journey.
Meet Liz Schick:
Liz received her liver transplant in 1998, after being diagnosed with a rare cancer called Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma (EHE).
Since then, she can be found volunteering for everything and anything transplant related. Her journey has led her to forming TACKERS, working for Swisstransplant and serving as Secretary on the WTGF board.
Liz has attended 10 summer transplant games and 6 winter games, which she describes as a feeling of ‘going home’.
In her interview, Liz shares insight into the handover of TACKERS to the WTGF, how she forgave her body for letting her down and her advice for preparing physically and mentally for transplant.
As Liz would say - “When you are feeling down - get moving!”
