On the tenth day of donating…
Today’s charity is another blast from my past: Cystic Fibrosis Canada. Remember that time I played hockey for 10 days straight to raise money for them? Can you believe that it was seven years ago! Seven! So it seems like it’s a good time to remind you about all the good work that CF Canada does.
Among other things, CF Canada funds researchers who are working towards finding a cure. Did you know that the gene for CF was discovered by researchers who were funded by CF Canada, in collaboration with the US Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, in 1989 ((Source: https://www.cysticfibrosis.ca/uploads/An%20Impact%20Story%20ENG.pdf)). They also advocate for better care for people living with CF, including advocating for newborn CF screening (which is now provided in all provinces except Quebec) and advocating for public coverage of medications for people living with CF ((Source: https://www.cysticfibrosis.ca/uploads/An%20Impact%20Story%20ENG.pdf)).
CF Canada is working towards a world without cystic fibrosis.
