In 1997, after receiving a life saving liver transplant,

he started walking across Canada carrying the Torch of Life (12,000 km) to thank his anonymous donor

On June 13 2000, he received the famous Torch Of Life by an anonymous donor

On Septemeber 5 2001, he was asked to bring the Torch to Vatican City,

where Pope John Paul II blessed it, and called organ & tissue donations a Genuine Act Of Love and wisely encouraged the young people to carry its message

Since then, we have referred to our charity as the Torch of Life

In 2004, our famous Kristopher Knowles, and thousands of young people from Canada & USA have championed the Torch through thousands of cities & towns in their respective communities.

On March 2, 2012, twenty year old Khaled Khatib carried it through 72 cities & towns in Ontario

He is presently the official Torch Bearer, preparing to carry it through Canada and the world

We believe by having these young champions promote organ & tissue donations

They can save lives & bring the world a little bit closer
