Living with Cystic Fibrosis

The Living with Cystic Fibrosis section is for those who are parents, caregivers or patients newly diagnosed with cystic fibrosis as well as those who have had cystic fibrosis for a while and want to know more than “just the basics”.

Reviewing these main areas can benefit everyone, specifically physiotherapy treatment options and overall health and wellness.

You can also jump to sections that can help with age specific concerns.

GearUp4CF: 1 and 2 day options

We are gearing up for GearUp4CF. Please check out our website www.gearup4CF.com.

Be the first to know! Send Sandra an email at SNiven@cysticfibrosis.ca and she'll let you know when we're live.

There are three options this year: 50km and 100km loop in Vancouver, leaving from Oak Park, or our 3-day ride Vancouver to Osoyoos ride.

 

UPDATE: Due to the May flooding in Osoyoos, we have modified our 3-day ride to a 2-ride ending in Manning Park. Please see our website for more details on the change.
