Go and vote for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation here? If you need a Canadian postal code (and I think you do) use T5J 1P1. The video is the third tab in (a little boy wearing a red shirt). Watch it and vote afterward.
There are lots of worthy causes on the list, but CF is very close to my heart. 25 years ago, my cousin died of CF. Robyn was a young child - not even young woman. She should have had her whole life ahead of her. Instead, Aunt Faith keeps Robyn's ashes at home, because Robyn just wanted to be at home. It is a sad thing when a child only wants to be home with her dog, and has had so much time in the hospital.
We have seen progress. Research has increased life expectancy. Early testing, early treatment. Hope. There is still more work to do.
For Robyn, for Aunt Faith, for Uncle Ken. For all of us, and for all of those diagnosed and their families, would you go vote?

I just voted. CF is near and dear to my heart too. It is one of my clinical specialities and I look forward to the day when my knowledge will be obsolete.
Done! Thanks for the opportunity to help.
45% of voters have chosen that cause so far...
i voted :)
done!
I voted. CF is our favorite charity as it is in both our family and our best friend's family.
Thank you for giving us this opportunity!
Thanks for telling us about this. CF is very close to me as well. My mother had two sisters who died of CF (one in 1951, one in 1968).
