Cystic Fibrosis Canada - North Bay Chapter will be hosting the 6th Annual Walk to make Cystic Fibrosis History on Sunday, May 31. 

In light of Covid-19, organizers have decided to take our walk virtual to help raise funds for CF research, advocacy and treatment. 

This years event will look very different.

It's usually one of the only times of the year where CF patients and their families can gather together, (in an outdoor setting, while remaining 6 feet apart identifying themselves with bananas).

Rather than cancelling or postponing the walk, CF officials have decided to take the event online.

Canadian health charities have been hit hard by COVID-19 and with access to critical life-saving medications being top-of-mind for our community, there has never been a more urgent need to raise funds and advocate for access.
