Jon Rolfe
Jonni New Lungs' Tour de Transplant Appeal
Story
As many of you know, I was the lucky recipient of a double lung transplant in March 2009.
Here are two pictures showing the difference: "before " transplant, hooked up on oxygen and barely able to walk across the room; 3 years "after" transplant, running out of the water after swimming 2.4km from Alcatraz Island back to the shore.

Having experienced the transplant journey firsthand I know how difficult, traumatic and stressful it is, that is why I give something back to the transplant community by volunteering for the Heart and Lung Transplant Trust (Victoria) Inc. We are a small charity enitrely run by volunteers all of whom are either transplant recipients or carers of recipients. Unlike other charities our staff costs are nil, so any donation you make goes directly to help other transplant families.
Not only I am deeply involved in HLTTV and organising the Tour de Transplant, I have decided to make even more of a difference by creating my very own fundraising appeal for the Tour. The Tour is a 5 day 600km cycling challenge along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, led by legend Phil Anderson. Aside from the cycling challenge itself, riders are also raising money to support HLTTV's Second Chance Accommodation Program. As an organizer I am too busy to ride, but I am keen to raise funds; any amount no matter how small or large will make a difference!
Through here you can easily support my efforts by making a secure donation. I would also really appreciate it if you could share my page above or comment below so more people know about it.
Click the 'Donate' button on this page to make a secure online donation or just click here.
All donations over $2 are tax deductible and you will be issued with a DGR receipt via email as soon as you make a donation.
Thanks so much for your support!
