My liver disease was diagnosed when I was one month old. Fortunately my mom could save my live with a piece of her liver in Hamburg in 1997.I grow up with taking medicines two times a day and at the age of nine I started swimming. I am in a very good condition.

Since 2006 I have been participiating in several transplant sport events; my first games was in 2006 in Pécs, Hungary. Since then I participiated almost in every European Transplant and Dialysis Games.

My first World Transplant Games was in 2007 in Bangkok, Thailand, and since 2011 I have always been a member of the Hungarian Transplant Team. 2016 and 2019 I was awarded by the Hungarian sportjurnalists as the Best Female Paraathlete from Hungary

Since February 2022 I am one of the members of the Athletes Advisory Commission in the Hungarian Paralympic Committee. I would like to get involved in the development of transplant sports movement both at a national and international level of sport.

I’ve been involved with transplant sports since 2005 and I have participated in the European and World Games since 2009 as a Team Manager and Country Representative. I have served in the ETDSF council since 2018.
In 2016 I successfully organized both European Championships, ETDSC and EHLTC, in Vantaa, Finland. I have also organized the 2008 Winter World Transplant Games in Rovaniemi, Finland.

I have a very strong background in event organizing and I also strongly believe in cooperation. I believe that cooperation on national and international levels would benefit national operators and increase equal opportunities for all transplant and dialysis athletes.

Peter was 18 when he was first diagnosed with glomerulonephritis. Then, at 35, he had his first dialysis, which he did at home after six months.

After eight and a half years, he received a kidney in June 2003, which functioned perfectly until 2009. For the next 12 years, he also performed hemodialysis at home again, and in fact, he received another gift of life in December 2021.

Due to his own concern and especially in view of the low organ donations in Germany in comparison to the rest of Europe, he became involved in various projects at an early stage. Since 2005 he has been on the board of Transdia Sport Deutschland e.V., in 2008 he was co-organizer of the ETDSC 2008 in Würzburg, from 2009-2013 he was a councillor in the WTGF and for many years he is on the organizing team of the „Bike-Tour for Organ Donation“.

Not least due to his own experiences, he is fully convinced that exercise is one of the best medications for dialysis patients as well as for transplanted people (If exercise were a pill it would be one of the most widely prescribed and cost-effective drugs ever invented).

Peter is the father of three adult sons and lives near Munich.
