We can't stop now.
After two years of relentless work advocating for access to new life-changing medicines, many Canadians with cystic fibrosis are living longer, have taken deeper breaths than ever before, and are encouraged and excited about their future.
But our work is not done.
For Canadians with CF, life is still too challenging and too short.
You can help to change that.
Modulator drugs are not a cure.
CF patients collectively spend more than 17,000 days in hospital each year.
More than a third of Canadians with CF travel more than 100km to receive care.
Half of Canadians who died of CF in the past five years were under the age of 37.

This disease is still a ticking clock for us and others. There is still so much further we need to go.

Momentum will move us forward, together.
Momentum maximizes the potential of donor dollars by investing in research that will deliver the biggest change while partnering with like-minded organizations. We must harness all the tools at our disposal to ensure Canada has the research talent to continue delivering on its track record of impact.
Momentum is grounded in four strategic approaches:
Listening to and working with those whose lives are most affected.
Investing in areas of unmet need.
Attracting bright scientific minds to fuel innovation.
Creating impact sooner rather than later.
You can help.
Donate today and join a powerful community creating healthier lives for all Canadians with CF.
You can choose to power these efforts with a single or multi-year gift to Cystic Fibrosis Canada.
Imagine the promise the future could hold:
Better prevention and detection of infections.
Fewer health issues as people age with CF.
Treatment options for those who cannot benefit from today’s life-changing medicines.
Curing the disease with gene or stem cell therapies.
We know it’s possible. Our track record speaks for itself.
Healthier lives for all Canadians with CF
Join us in fueling
Research advances will drive improvements in treatment and care for all with CF.
