2025 and beyond: a future W/O Limits

DECEMBER 23, 2024

As we move into a new year, I wanted to take a moment to celebrate and thank every member of our amazing community who came together in 2024 to create real change in the lives of people with cystic fibrosis.

In December, during our 48-hour challenge, your generosity helped us raise $13,465! This incredible achievement was matched 3x by our Board of Directors, up to $25,000. Our community’s spirit of giving and togetherness is invaluable and will stay with me through the holidays, knowing we’re one step closer to a future W/O Limits for every person who lives with cystic fibrosis.

Looking Toward a Future W/O Limits

In December as part of our year-end fundraising campaign, we asked: ‘What does a life W/O Limits look like to you?’ The responses were so profoundly moving I had to share a couple:

“A life without limits means my daughters can dream big and as their Mom, I can watch them make those big dreams come true!”

“W/O Limits means CF has become a liveable disease. W/O Limits means not having to tell my son some of his dreams may not be feasible. W/O Limits means access to affordable and alternative options of care. W/O Limits is giving the breath of life. W/O Limits means fewer nights crying/mourning what may have been and more time celebrating what can and will be!”

These words truly capture the heart of why we do what we do. They remind us of all the strength, resilience and compassion that define this wonderful community. On behalf of everyone at Cystic Fibrosis Canada, I thank you.
