The Chain of Life Challenge is an annual gathering organized by the Chain of Life organization as part of World Organ Donor and Transplant Day. In virtually all regions of Québec, participants come together to climb a mountain in their area as a gesture of solidarity with those waiting for a transplant. This major event brings together everyone in the chain of life—from education to transplantation—uniting their efforts in support of Chain of Life and its unique in-school education program on organ and tissue donation. Through this program, youth aged 15 to 17 learn, reflect and take action: they become ambassadors for family discussions about this important social issue and agents of change to help build a true culture of donation and good health in Québec. This initiative also helps raise funds to make the Chain of Life education program part of all secondary schools in the province.
Last year, we were proud to honour the volunteer police officers from the Canadian Organ and Tissue Donors Association (CODA), who form a vital link in the pre-hospital chain of care. Called upon to transport organs from donors to recipients, they play a crucial role that is relatively unknown to the general public.
It is with great pleasure that I have accepted the honorary presidency of the 11th edition of the Chain of Life Challenge. Supporting Chain of Life means supporting the educational mission of organ and tissue donation in schools. By learning about this vital issue, students can make a free and informed decision and, in doing this, become ambassadors for family discussions!
