Breathing life into the future

After 50 years of tremendous progress, Cystic Fibrosis Canada (formerly known as the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation) is changing its look to increase recognition for the cause, and raise vital funds for research. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common, fatal genetic disease affecting Canadian children and young adults. There is no cure. The new logo, which portrays an adult and child flying a kite, symbolizes people with cystic fibrosis, the disease and hope for the future.

Cystic fibrosis affects breathing and the kite communicates the movement of air. Cystic Fibrosis Canada has its sights set on a cure and is committed to Breathing life into the future of people affected by this devastating disease. Céline Dion, Celebrity Patron of Cystic Fibrosis Canada, knows first-hand the devastation cystic fibrosis can cause. Céline’s niece, Karine – who had cystic fibrosis – died at age 16 in her aunt’s arms. To see the new look, visit www.cysticfibrosis.ca.
