Hi,
Before discovering the Chain of Life program at school last year, organ donation was still a rather abstract concept for me. I knew what it was, but I had never really taken the time to think about it. This educational program on organ and tissue donation, presented in my English class, completely changed my perspective on this important issue.
What struck me most was realizing just how closely health, solidarity, and family dialogue are connected. I came to understand that behind organ donation are moving human stories, complex decisions, and extraordinary generosity. It encouraged me to ask meaningful questions, seek a deeper understanding of the realities of organ donation, and sharpen my critical-thinking skills.
During adolescence, we begin shaping our values and developing our sense of responsibility and empathy. This is precisely why it is so important to discuss sensitive topics like this at school. It gives us a safe space to talk openly, become better-informed citizens, and continue the conversation with our families based on accurate information.
I am truly proud to serve as the flag-bearer for the 2026 Laurentides Chain of Life Challenge and to represent the young people of my region. I want to show that, even at our age, we already have the power to make a real and positive difference and help build a healthier, better-informed, and more altruistic society.
I wholeheartedly invite everyone in our beautiful region to join me in climbing Mont Habitant and supporting organ and tissue donation education in our secondary schools.
