Georgi Peev from Haskovo, who has a transplanted heart and kidney, will be included in the book “Guinness World Records”.
“People with transplanted organs in Bulgaria are great! Each and every one of you motivates me to keep doing things to promote our common cause – to have more human lives saved!
Guinness World Records contacted me about climbing Kilimanjaro. They want proof (photos, video, certificate, two witnesses) that I am indeed a heart and kidney recipient and have boarded Uhuru! After presenting this evidence, Guinness World Records will consider whether the climb is a Guinness World Record for a man with a heart and kidney transplant who climbed a 5,895-meter peak!
Even if they do not recognize it as a Guinness Record, this is a huge recognition for people with transplanted organs in Bulgaria, because we demonstrate that we can be physically active! Even after more than 10 years have passed since the transplants!
Thanks to everyone who believed in me!
We continue to fight for more transplants and more lives saved!
Iivano Ivano, Deyan Stoichkov, Desislava Apostolova, you are “guilty”! I love you and thank you for sharing this amazing adventure with me! If it happens – this Guinness World Record is yours too!”, wrote on Facebook the Haskovlia, who is also the world champion in swimming for transplanted athletes, and is also the former editor-in-chief of Haskovska Maritsa.
