What's the difference between living, and loving life?
Answer: a donated tendon, if you happen to be mad about sport.
Chris, a very keen sportsman, collided with a tree while snowboarding. The ligaments in his left knee were severely torn and he needed surgery to repair the damage. His surgeon used a donated tendon to replace the ligament, so he could return to his beloved sports as soon as possible. Within six months, Chris was back playing tennis and he was snowboarding the following year.
"I know that the transplant was not life-saving, but my sport means a great deal to me. It is the difference between living, and loving life. My knee feels stronger today than before the accident and I am lucky to have been given the opportunity to have this surgery."
