Brazilian Honouree Celebrated on National Television Following WTGF Hall of Fame Induction

On 15 December, Brazil’s leading television network, TV Globo, aired a special feature highlighting a remarkable journey — from dialysis patient to inductee into the Hall of Fame of the World Transplant Games Federation.

The report shared a powerful overview of resilience, determination, and purpose — tracing the path from time spent on dialysis to becoming an advocate for organ donation through sport.

Central to the feature was a lifelong dream: to promote organ donation awareness through athletic achievement. That mission was meaningfully recognised with induction into the WTGF Hall of Fame — an honour that celebrates not only sporting excellence, but impact.

The televised segment was both emotional and inspiring, resonating widely and reinforcing the message that life after transplant can be active, visible, and transformative.

For those who would like to watch the feature (in Portuguese), the full report is available via Instagram:

This national recognition is not only a personal milestone — it is a powerful moment for transplant sport and organ donation advocacy across Brazil and beyond.

Greetings from Brazil, and warm wishes for a healthy and inspiring year ahead.
