Cancer Survivor Runs for Transplant Hope | Ireland News

Trevor Lynch, a Limerick athlete battling cancer for over three years and undergoing two stem cell transplants, is now training to compete for Ireland at the 2026 British Transplant Games—running the 800m and 1500m. His journey began in 2012 when running became his lifeline during chemotherapy, helping him manage stress and mental health. After finding only two matches out of 25 million on the global donor registry, he’s now urging others to join Ireland’s stem cell donor registry—especially those already blood donors—to increase chances of saving lives. His fitness also helped him recover with fewer transplant side effects, proving that physical strength can be a powerful ally in medical battles.
