Well, there's been lots of talk about the Olympics Games, starting in just over a weeks time in Rio.. But did you know that there is another Games happening a lot closer to home? The British Transplant Games starts tomorrow in Liverpool with over 700 athletes taking part. One of them is Ballycastle girl, Lucia Quinney-Mee.Ten @lucdonate months ago the 17 year old was undergoing her THIRD liver transplant - but made it her goal to compete in the Games. Our reporter, @nweir1, met up with Lucia at Belfast City Airport this morning - just as she was about to board a flight to Liverpool - asked her about her long journey to fitness.
