Join Sylvain and a local expert for an exploration of the attitudes, obstacles and opportunities experienced by transplant recipients and those around them. This enlightening and stimulating discussion promises to help patients, their families and their friends to gain an understanding of life following organ transplantation.
Sylvain Bédard Sylvain has seen highs and lows few will ever experience. An active father of five and an avid cyclist, he is the first Canadian heart transplant recipient to conquer Europe’s Mount Blanc and the world’s first heart transplant recipient to pass the 6,000 metre mark on Bolivia’s Mount Sajama.
