Take on the Chain of Life Challenge at mont Pin Rouge!

As a young police officer with the Sûreté du Québec, I work in a region far from the major centres. A region that currently has no transplant centre, but one that has many citizens waiting for a transplant. So, I'm involved in a slightly different way from my fellow police officers who are actively involved in organ transport. First and foremost, I share my support and gratitude to those who are available and motivated to transport organs, tissues and medical teams quickly and efficiently throughout Quebec.

By acting as a bridge in the chain of life, police officers enable medical teams to perform transplants in the shortest delay possible. In a law enforcement environment often confronted by human distress, it's gratifying to see such positive and concrete consequences to our actions.

Without being a transporter myself, I remain sensitive to the reality of organ and tissue donation. I have personally seen loved ones act as donors, just as I have known loved ones who have benefited from a second chance at life thanks to a transplant. Both sides of this coin, though very different, are comforting during a difficult time.

For all these reasons, I'm honoured to be the flag-bearer for the Challenge in my region and to promote the values of Chain of Life, an organization that educates young people about an issue still somewhat unknown, but one that ultimately helps save lives.
