We’re changing the cystic fibrosis story.
Every member of our community has a powerful part to play in helping Canadians with cystic fibrosis live without limits.
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.
How you can create change
There are lots of ways to support Canadians living with cystic fibrosis, and a little help goes a long way.
Donate to drive our life-changing work
Whether you chose to make a single or monthly donation, or arrange a planned gift, the simple act of giving creates positive, lasting change for the cystic fibrosis community.
Register for, host or support a fundraiser
There’s always something going on in our community – and you’re invited! Be our guest at a local or national event, or host your own fun fundraiser in support of Cystic Fibrosis Canada.
Volunteer to fit your schedule
We couldn’t have come as far as we have without our valued volunteers. There are as many reasons to volunteer with CF Canada as there are opportunities to do so.
CF Canada events are awesome!
