Cystic Fibrosis Canada — Toronto & District Chapter

Please join Cystic Fibrosis Canada Toronto & District Chapter as we walk and run to raise funds to support cystic fibrosis research and care.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common, fatal genetic disease affecting young Canadians
Cystic fibrosis mainly affects the lungs and digestive system, where thick mucus develops and makes it difficult to breathe and absorb nutrients from food
1 in 25 Canadians carry the defective gene responsible for CF; two carrier parents have a 25% chance of having a child with CF.
1 in 3,600 children born in Canada has cystic fibrosis — only half of these children will live to see the age of 47.

All funds raised through the STWM Charity Challenge funds research towards a cure or control for CF and supports CF patient care clinics and transplant programs
Every dollar raised makes a difference in the lives of those living with CF!
