Faucher family

As the name Chaine de vie so aptly suggests, life is a chain…

Each of us has our own chain. If a link in the chain breaks, we must try to repair it.

Organ and tissue donation enables us to repair that link so that life may continue.

That's what happened in our family...

On a sunny Saturday autumn morning, my Marie-Andrée's chain suddenly broke. Nothing could be done to save her life; the chain was broken forever...

However, although that chain was broken, links in that chain were recovered, enabling other chains of life to continue.

Marie-Andrée was a very dynamic woman who loved life and loved others. She led a healthy and very active life. Her untimely departure left a great void in the hearts of those close to her, but the links she donated have enabled others to continue or improve their chains and have brought great comfort to all those who knew and loved her.

Bravo to Chain of Life and thank you for your support!

The Faucher family is honoured to become ambassadors this year for this wonderful cause, which allows us to pay tribute to our beloved Marie-Andrée.

Bruno Faucher,
on behalf of the entire Faucher family

The Key Links in the Chain of Life

The key links in the chain of life are doctors, nurses, transplant recipients, donor families, teachers, students, distinguished climbers, public figures and many others... who join forces to create a movement uniting all those touched directly or indirectly by organ and tissue donation.

        Martin Pagé

        I love challenges, I'm a project junkie! For me, climbing mountains is a way to push my limits, to feel alive and fulfilled.

        Each transplant recipient or person waiting for an organ transplant has a challenge ahead of her or him that is even greater than climbing a mountain. And so, it is with great humility that I have accepted to be an emeritus climber for Chain of Life.

        In 2019, I climbed Aconcagua in Argentina (6,962 m) and proudly carried the Chain of Life flag to the top. The great satisfaction I felt at reaching the summit and unfurling the flag reminds me that through the fruits of our efforts, we can achieve our goals.

        Through the involvement of its volunteers, Chain of Life spares no effort to make a difference in the lives of many people.

        It is with great joy that I will be climbing with you on October 15. 
        I hope to see a lot of you there!

        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.

        Mountain Climbing and Waiting for a Transplant: What a Parallel!

        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!
