Transplant Games

I'm sure I was driving along Wessington Way the other day and there was a sign for these, what events are in Sunderland? (Everything I've heard on the telly etc has said they're in Newcastle)
 


Why the hell would anyone want to watch an event where the participants are there because they were once ill in some way ? Spectators must all be friends and family. You could end up watching people who are no better than you or I. I understand their achievement, but it wouldn't be anything special as a spectacle.

I've had two kidney transplants in recent years and have never understood why adult transplantees have the need to take part.
Saying that I'm part of the volunteers helping participants get around venues.
