Flag-bearer
Marc-André Parent
Hi,
In April 2021, at the age of 28, I received the greatest gift of all: a new heart. This transplant gave me my life back and the priceless joy of watching my young children grow up.
I agreed to serve as a flag-bearer for the 2026 Chain of Life Challenge in the Estrie region because, beyond my own story, I deeply believe in the importance of this organization’s mission. After attending Chain of Life’s training sessions, I came away with a profound conviction: education is the most powerful way to raise awareness across an entire population.
By bringing its program directly into our high schools, Chain of Life teaches young people about organ and tissue donation and encourages them to discuss it openly with their families. Educating young people means helping them become informed citizens, breaking down taboos and ensuring that everyone can make an informed decision about organ donation.
Every person who says yes to organ donation—yes to life—offers a second chance to someone like me. Together, let us support this vital educational mission.
Thank you for participating in large numbers or for making a donation to my team or our region.
Together, let’s climb with heart for the cause!
