Sibling Transplant Heroes Shine at Games

Thirteen-year-old Wren and her 12-year-old brother Milo have found new strength and hope following life-saving liver transplants. Both children were born with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 (PFIC2), a rare genetic disorder that impairs bile release from the liver, eventually leading to liver failure. This condition affects one in 50,000 to 100,000 children, often necessitating a transplant.

As of August 2026, the siblings are participating in the British Transplant Games for the fourth consecutive year. They are believed to be the only siblings competing in the annual event. Wren, who previously experienced severe illness before her transplant, expressed her determination to achieve a silver medal in the high jump. The games represent a significant milestone, allowing them to showcase their recovery and resilience.
