One day before Christmas Eve, that is on December 23rd 2011, Chuck and Sebastien went to three different hospitals in Montreal, Canada to spread a little Christmas joy to its patients: to play basketball with them, to play music instruments and mostly to talk and be with the children. The guys visited Maison Le Phare, St Justine Hospital and Montreal Children’s Hospital – all three institutions are fully supported by Simple Plan Foundation. Chuck commented on this visit by the following series of tweets:
“We had an amazing day visiting and hanging out with kids at St-Justine Hospital, Montreal Children’s Hospital and Maison Le Phare. The kids we met today are so inspiring. So strong and courageous. It’s an eye-opening experience every time. It teaches you to appreciate life. A huge thank you to all of them, their families, the nurses, doctors and volunteers who devote their lives to helping these sick children. With Christmas just around the corner, I hope we all take a second to realize how blessed and lucky we are to have good health and be alive.”
Let’s stop at Maison Le Phare for a while. This center contributes to the wellbeing of children whose lives are threatened by illnesses that require complex treatment. One of the types of therapy used in this institute is the so-called music therapy that Simple Plan and their foundation has been supporting for many years. Today, Maison Le Phare posted a couple of pictures from Chuck’s and Sebastien’s visit which you can now check out also in our gallery.
