LA CHANSON DES VIEUX AMANTS
La Fondation Canadienne Rêves d'Enfants
"Being the spokesperson of the Canadian Children's Wish Foundation, I hold the well-being of the young people particularly to heart."
"The Foundation offers the possibility to realize the dreams of children who are affected by a disease that threatens their life, all while offering to the families the support which they often need when they have to live with the disease of their children.
When one has the luck to have a child in good health, one does not always realize the tests that have to live these small ones and their families. It was essential for me to share big moments with these young ones that ask only to laugh and to have fun, as all the other children."
"I would like to take advantage of the occasion to underline the unbelievable work of the people of the Foundation that have to live in a manner constant to this hard reality. I am very glad that the Foundation offered me the possibility to be the spokesperson and I desire to underline the huge courage shown by all these volunteers, ones that give, every day, a little light in the life of these young ones." - Bruno Pelletier
