Wrapping for a Cure - Calgary 2024
Get in the Holiday spirit by volunteering your time for a good cause!
Cystic Fibrosis Canada is excited to announce the return of Wrapping for a Cure located in North Hill Centre & Southcentre Mall, Calgary, Alberta.
Individuals, teams, and workplace employees can give a little back during the Holiday season by volunteering to wrap gifts at any of our participating malls. Funds raised from Wrapping for a Cure go back into the local community.
My name is Kelly Ann Quinlan and I am 19 years old. I was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at birth. My 24-year-old brother Michael also has cystic fibrosis, which is a challenge, as we both live in the same home but must live separately to a degree. We are very close to our parents and sometimes they struggle with the extra duties and constant cleaning that comes with raising two CF children.
