Cystic Fibrosis Canada is excited to be launching a new event for the Fall of 2020 that allows for social distancing, family fun and most importantly, the ability to raise funds to get us closer to a world without CF. Quest4CF is a family friendly scavenger hunt taking place in select communities across Canada on Sunday, October 18th, 2020. Questers will venture out in their vehicles to solve clues and riddles on their Quest for treasure, while raising funds for the CF commu...nity! We would love to have you join us in planning a Quest4CF event in your community. Volunteers will help secure local sponsors, arrange stops and treasure for the participants and implement elements of the quest being offered by national sponsors. Do you want to find out more about how you can make sure that Quest4CF happens in your community? Do you want to help organize the event? Do you want to help on the day of the event? Join us to find out more this Thursday night at 7pm on Webex. We can’t wait to let you know all about it!

Hi Cornwall CF community! We have a message from a local CF mama, Christine Borris! "Aspen is my 11 month old baby girl. When she was a week old she got diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, which is a fatal genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. We are from Alexandria and could really use everyone’s help throughout the community! We entered a contest which could win us 5000$, 3000$ or 2000$ to be donated to Cystic Fibrosis Canada which helps with research and clinic care. All you have to do is click on the link and click on the red vote button! Only takes a few seconds."

People are alive today because of Cystic Fibrosis Canada’s sixty year history spent advancing cystic fibrosis research, advocacy and care. Until midnight tonig...ht gifts will be matched up to $50,000, for Giving Tuesday Now! Please give if you can. Your gift will help bring hope to Canadians living with CF. https://bit.ly/3fjGdHA See more
