Aditi Shankar, who received pioneering treatment at Great Ormond Street Hospital nearly three years ago, is back to spread joy as she prepares to compete in the British Transplant Games. After a groundbreaking kidney and stem cell transplant from her mother allowed her to avoid lifelong immunosuppressive medication, Aditi has returned to an active life.
