QUÉBEC CITY, QUÉBEC--(Marketwired - Oct. 13, 2016) - In conjunction with the World Day for Organ and Tissue Donation, the CHAIN OF LIFE CHALLENGE will take place across Québec on October 15 and 16.

Lead teams, composed of doctors, transplant recipients, donor families, teachers, students, climbers and public figures will plant the CHAIN OF LIFE flag atop 12 mountains to support the educational project CHAIN OF LIFE and to remind Quebeckers of the importance of making their decision about organ donation known to their loved ones. The general public is invited to join the lead teams by climbing along with them or by making a donation on: http://ift.tt/2ebfAUS.
