Helping Canadians with CF live W/O Limits

We believe that no one who lives with cystic fibrosis should be left behind. As the national charity dedicated to improving the health and well-being of Canadians living with CF, we mobilize our community to address priority issues, advocate for improved access to medicine and resources, and fund targeted Canadian research that builds on our understanding of this rare disease to lessen its burden and, finally, find a cure.
