The National Kidney Registry highlights the athletic achievements of living donor athletes who participate in Donor Games Open workouts and Championship events.
Cornelius Bornman competed in his first Donor Games event, the Bonnyman Workout 2023 Open, in January 2023, less than a year after donating his kidney to his 10-year-old daughter.
Very few Donor Games athletes have been around since the very beginning of the Donor Games: Kevin Kilkenny is one of them. In fact, he himself may have been the inspiration for the event.
In his first event, the 3-Rep Trap Bar Deadlift 2022 Open, Justin King placed fourth in the Donor Men category. Now, he regularly appears at the top of the leaderboard for both Open events and Donor Games Championships.
Darlene Magsino is a frequent competitor in Donor Games events and consistently earns a place on the podium. Darlene has also competed in the combat sport Muay Thai, as well as other forms of martial arts.
