The US Transplant Games get underway this weekend in Madison. Erin Davisson is one of more than 500 transplant recipients who make up Team Wisconsin. She had a liver transplant nearly 20 years ago, when her health was failing because of a genetic illness called Wilson's Disease.

Team Wisconsin checks in Friday for this six day event in Madison, and there are lots of living donors, donor families and supporters who will be there.

But even if you can't make it to the games- you can watch all the action online.

Your first stop should be the National Kidney Foundation website.

Here you can find all the info you need on the games- including daily schedules, photos and more.

You can also follow the games on Facebook - just look for the National Kidney Foundation, and the NKF of Wisconsin.

Twitter is abuzz about the games.

You can follow the National Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin at www.twitter.com/nkfwi and Team Wisconsin at @teamwi. And of course, do a search for #TransplantGames on Twitter to find out what people are talking about.

Of course, the easiest place to find information on the games is right here on Channel Five. Erin will not only be competing in the games- she'll be reporting. You can find her on the air and online. She'll post video and photos to our YouNews site.
