Hello everyone,

Last week was the 17^th edition of the McHappy Day and once again, you were there to help and support the cause. More than $765,000 were raised in Quebec, for a total of 3 million across Canada, and funds from McHappy Day will benefit various charities that help children in need across the country.

I had the chance, once again, to participate. I began my day on Wednesday May 5^th with two TV interviews: one was at Canal V and the other one at Salut Bonjour! morning TV show. I got the chance to share why this event is so important to me. After that, I went to the McDonald’s restaurant on Atwater where were also Marie-Claude Savard, a sports journalist on Salut Bonjour!, Érik Guay, skier athlete and Nathalie Lambert, chef de mission at the Vancouver Olympic Games. We had a lot of fun serving customers that day and meeting with employees. I finished my day by a visit at the McDonald’s restaurant on boulevard St. Jean.

It’s always an incredible experience for me to participate in McHappy Day and I also want to thank you for your generosity.

Currently, I’m in Arizona in a training camp, getting ready for the next competitions. But, it’s not because I’m far away that I don’t follow our Montréal Canadiens; what a victory last night. GO HABS GO!

Alex
