Transplant Games of America 2018, Salt Lake City.

August 4, 2018

Thanks to TGA CEO Bill Ryan and producer Sue Brady for inviting us to screen BURDEN OF GENIUS at the 2018 Transplant Games of America! Amazing to share space with 7,000 (yes, seven thousand!) transplant recipients, donors and family members competing in athletic events ranging from swimming to field and track and everything in between.
