Cystic Fibrosis Canada
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common fatal genetic disease affecting Canadian children and young adults. At present, there is no cure.
CF causes various effects on the body, but mainly affects the digestive system and lungs. The degree of cystic fibrosis severity differs from person to person, however, the persistence and on-going infection in the lungs, with destruction of lungs and loss of lung function, eventually leads to death in people with CF.
Cystic Fibrosis Canada, is one of the world's top three charitable organizations committed to finding a cure for cystic fibrosis and is an internationally recognized leader in funding CF research, innovation, and clinical care. We invest more funding in life-saving CF research and care than any other non-governmental agency in Canada. Since 1960, Cystic Fibrosis Canada has invested more than $300 million in leading research, care and advocacy, resulting in one of the world's highest survival rates for Canadians living with cystic fibrosis. The median age of survival is 51 years, however 50 per cent of those that die from cystic fibrosis are under 35. There is no cure. #ENDCF
