What an extraordinary welcome today at Goal Line Studios in Pleasanton, California, as we prepare for a very full and exciting couple of days ahead!
We are incredibly grateful for the warmth, kindness and support extended to us by the Madden family, including Joe Madden and his lovely wife Wendy, COO Chris Montgomery, Studio Manager Giba, and the entire Goal Line Studios team. From the moment we arrived, their gracious hospitality and genuine care for what we are doing for young people was so evident.
And now the excitement is building! We are already receiving video uploads from students and schools getting ready to join us LIVE as we connect with thousands of young people across North America through our Live Simulcast from Goal Line Studios.
Alongside the Simulcast, we are also excited to be launching our Live Resilient Guide, extending these same principles of emotional and mental resilience beyond our youth and into the lives of parents, families and the adults who support them.
September 30 is also the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada, 🇨🇦 and it is deeply important to us that we respect and honour the significance of this day. Our Canadian schools and communities will have the opportunity to participate through the recording at another time, allowing September 30 to remain a day of reflection, listening, learning and remembrance.
Although I am here in California, my heart is very much at home in Canada 🇨🇦 — while also filled with compassion and care for young people across North America and around the world.
Our youth are facing tremendous challenges, and they need to know that we see them, we believe in them, and we are willing to show up for them. ❤️
And beside me through all of this is my husband, Jim Chaput — my rock, helping with absolutely everything as we prepare.
And apparently Jim and Joe have something else in common… they are pretty much the same height. 😂
Me? Well… there’s a slight difference. 😂
So deeply grateful for everyone coming together to help young people RISE, build resilience and face their LIFE and future with hope.
