Hi,
Chain of Life has been part of my life since I was six years old, when I started helping my mother with the organization. Ten years later, I’m still just as proud to be part of it.
What struck me most was discovering how Chain of Life began: the spark that gave rise to Chain of Life came from Josianne Sirois, who was only 16 at the time. It made me realize something important: even when we’re not old enough to vote, even when we’re “just” young people, we can have an idea, inspire others, and help create a real movement that changes things around us. It’s pretty amazing to know that someone my age was at the origin of this great adventure.
That’s part of the reason I said yes when I was asked to become a flag bearer. I think this cause is really important, and I was touched that they thought of me to represent it. After all these years of watching and helping behind the scenes, it’s an honor to now have the opportunity to carry this mission forward.
In my opinion, the best way to reach young people my age is to get them involved in activities they’ll genuinely enjoy, even if the topic doesn’t interest them at first. Often, having fun is what opens the door to reflection.
I invite people from my region to take part in the Chain of Life Challenge and join us in supporting youth, education, and the solidarity that brings us all together.
William
