Anthony Paul Joseph
Hello!
My name is Anthony Paul Joseph and I am privileged to be an English teacher for the Juvénat Notre Dame private high school in St Romuald in the Chaudière-Appalaches region. My mother suffers from a genetic disorder known as polycystic kidney disease. My efforts to understand her condition and to help her in any way I could eventually led to my meeting with the amazing team behind the Chain of Life Program. Thanks to their incredible unit on organ and tissue donation, I’ve been teaching my secondary 5 students about the gift of life since 2016. In 2017 I was able to become a living donor and help my mom by giving her one of my kidneys. Since those early years I’ve seen generation after generation of my senior students take up the challenge of metaphorically (and physically!) climbing mountains to bring more awareness to this cause. They’ve done this with the conviction that education is a fundamental step towards the summits that enable people like my mom to live renewed lives.
Education about something as important as organ and tissue donation means more than just knowing information. It’s an appeal for action! It cultivates a conviction that as a community we can make our tomorrows better than our today. It’s this conviction that drives teachers as we work with our students. It’s this conviction that drives students as they take up their leadership roles in society. It’s this conviction that makes me both proud and humbled to be the flag-bearer for my region this year.
I invite you to join my family, my friends, my students, and me for the ascent of Mt. Lauzon in Lévis on Saturday, October 18, in support of Chain of Life.
And why climb a mountain?
To reach what lies beyond.
See you soon!

Mountain Climbing and Waiting for a Transplant: What a Parallel!
Participants in the Chain of Life Challenge carry the flag to the top of a mountain in their region.
Waiting for a transplant is a bit like climbing a mountain. Both require preparation, fortitude, determination, perseverance and, most of all, support — the climber needs strong climbing partners and the person waiting for an organ needs a reliable support network. Both are real challenges. This is why the mountain has become one of the symbols associated with Chain of Life.
By planting the Chain of Life flag at the top of a mountain, we are not only showing our solidarity for organ and tissue donation, but we are also helping send a message of hope to all those waiting for a transplant in Quebec and elsewhere.
Thank you to our partners!
