    • Hi, Susan,

      I saw your comments on the website and wanted to ask where you are and why the interest in the games and Paul’s web site. There are not going to be Transplant Games this year unfortunately. They proved too expensive for the Donate Life Virginia organization to host. However, the games for the high school scholarship in Paul’s memory will be held on senior night for the Great Bridge High School soccer team every May.

      Were you or someone n your family friends with Paul?

      God bless,

      Cindy Harris
