Our name and logo may be different, but our commitment to finding a cure or effective control for cystic fibrosis remains the same. Join the Essex-Kent Chapter in our quest for a cure by volunteering, hosting an event, sharing your story, joining us for one of our great events, or making a donation. Formerly the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Cystic Fibrosis Canada was founded in 1960 by a g
