We celebrate our 65-year history and the extraordinary achievement of having doubled life expectancy for Canadians living with cystic fibrosis. We’ve contributed to the global body of CF knowledge, funding research achievements such as mapping the gene that causes cystic fibrosis in 1989. And we’ve advanced access to life-changing CF medicines in Canada through relentless advocacy and government relations work. For most young children diagnosed in the next few years, their experience with cystic fibrosis will be different, and most likely a more hopeful story. But today, there is still an immense burden for many Canadians, and we work hard on their behalf.
