The Transplant Athlete, Lou Lamoureux, received a life-saving kidney transplant in September 2000 and is currently training to compete in the world’s toughest bicycle race, The Race Across America (RAAM), from Oceanside, California to Atlantic City, New Jersey. He will be sharing footage and stories from his 2006 attempt of the RAAM as well as leading discussions on Organ Donation and Kidney Health.
The Washington Sports Clubs is generously donating a one day pass to all participants to provide access to their facilities. Ample Parking and Showers are available.
The National Kidney Foundation is dedicated to preventing kidney and urinary tract diseases, improving the health and well-being of individuals and families affected by these diseases, and to increasing the availability of all organs for transplantation.

Events To Promote Organ Donation
I'll be holding a Spin-A-Thon to benefit the
National Kidney Foundation on March 11th. Please save the date. It will be held at the
Washington Sports Clubs Sterling, VA location. Come and ride along with me. I'll be providing food, fluid, and entertainment. More details to follow.
I'll be holding a family fun ride on April 29th to benefit the Washington Regional Transplant Consortium. The ride will start and finish at the Reston Town Center, will be around 5 or 6 miles on paved trails, and will be suitable for young children. The WRTC is the local Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) for the metropolitan DC area. About the WRTC:
- With one hospital call to the Washington Regional Transplant Consortium (WRTC), a complex and sophisticated series of events brings together an organ or tissue donor, a donor family, surgical recovery and transplant teams and patients on the transplant waiting list.
- WRTC provides strong support both medically and emotionally to organ and tissue donor families, living donors, and transplant recipients throughout the donation process and for years afterwards.
I will also be holding an event to benefit the Give Life Foundation in Late May or Early June. Stay tuned for more details.
