A Bognor Regis man who came close to dying joined hundreds of transplant athletes to compete in the British Transplant Games last week.

The four day annual sporting event began on August 2 in Birmingham.

Jim Cullen was diagnosed with End Stage Liver Disease at 60, which resulted in him requiring a life-saving liver transplant.

Jim, who came third in table tennis at the British Transplant Games, said: “The games are an opportunity to join others from several months of age to over 70 years old who, like me, were given a second chance of life thanks to the selfless act of another human being and their family.”
