Olivia Déraspe and Justine Chiasson

Hi,
Last year, in our English class, our teacher Mikaella Poirier introduced us to the Chain of Life program. We were surprised to learn, among other things, how many people are waiting for a transplant and how rare the opportunity to donate organs is. The families’ stories touched us deeply. We realized that, even at our age, we can make a difference by talking about organ donation with the people close to us.

When Mikaella asked us to be flag bearers for the Chain of Life Challenge, we said yes right away. This cause now means a lot to us, and we would love to share what we’ve learned with other young people and families in the Magdalen Islands. We hope many of you will come walk with us on October 16!
