21 | Thursday, October 17, 2013 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com MY LIFE is about reaching summits MY MEDICINE is my lifeline My name is Sylvain Bedard I'm from Montreal I'm a heart transplant recipient and a mountain climber In 2001 after suffering from a rare heart condition since I was 13, I finally received a heart transplant. The surgery saved my life, and my medication keeps me alive. Thanks to ongoing research into new medicines for transplant recipients like me, I live a full and active life. I can work, I can play with my kids (5 boys!) ... I can even climb mountains. See Sylvain's story at www.canadapharma.org/hope
