The small Mya wants to smile at life.

While I'm in the last sprint before the telethon Child of the Sun (2 June), immersed in stories a few times heart-wrenching but often very inspiring, I am preparing for the coming, before the cameras of VAT, of children who, with their families, will testify to their hope of a better life!

Then you will understand that when I see stories of children abused by their parents as this innocent little victim of Granby I am baffled...

I'm baffled but I know that we must go forward in spite of and "with" this drama. It is necessary that this hatred towards a child gives more meaning to the love that one has to give them. It is our collective consciousness to take a step, whatever it may be, in the meaning of life is to honor the child, to protect it as well.

Then I try to move more towards action, which can lead to love. And the help to sick children is for me a step in the right direction, a light, beneficial to our humanity.

Among my bright discoveries for this year there is a little Alexis, suffers from Dravet syndrome, with which I share the screen for the advertising of the Home Child Sun.

This little guy is playful as you see in the advertising living times not a lot less happy these days having to undergo a battery of tests. But resilience is one of its weapons.

Same thing for the small Mya, who suffers from several illnesses, but who wants to smile at life.

The telethon is a huge television production annual. This is 15 hours of continuous music, artists, guests, heart-warming stories, songs, lighting cared....So when the end of the runway Québec calm, with a rich emotion, the amount of money collected, that's all this pride of life that results.

For those too many sick children and their families 15 hours of homage to life on live television represents a lighthouse was essential, since when the cameras turn off, it is 8,745 hours that will elapse before the next flagship.

"Life is so fragile," yes, but together we are stronger. Bright child, Bright Life.
