Baton relay coming through Cobar

The Gift of Life Baton will be coming through Cobar on Friday on its way to Perth for the World Transplant Games later this month.

The Gift of Life Baton, the symbol of the World Transplant Games, will cover 4,600kms crossing through four states, the Nullarbor and Australia’s Outback.

The relay aims to promote the need for more

Australians to register as organ and tissue donors.

Designed and produced in Western Australia and to be gifted to the World Transplant Games Federation following these Games, it will be carried by Altruistic Donor Gordon Rutty and friends from Gold Coast charity, The Pride of Bettermen and Lionesses.
