📩📢 The newest life-saving CF drug, Alyftrek, has been approved in Canada. So why are people living with cystic fibrosis still waiting to access it? Because approval is only one step.

Without treatment, people get sicker, irreversible damage continues to occur. For some people, Alyftrek may offer another treatment option. For others, it may be the only life-saving treatment that works for them.

This community has helped drive urgent access before. Now, we need to raise our collective voices again. We’ve made it easy - take action in under a minute: https://win.newmode.net/cfdoesntwait

Stan Czajkowsky, a loving husband, father, and uncle, passed away suddenly in December 2025.

Stan was a proud uncle to Maddy and Mikayla, who live with cystic fibrosis (CF). “[He] liked to help others, but in a quiet way,” recalls his wife, Kim. Fundraising and volunteering for CF was what brought this family closer together, knowing that it would lead them closer to a cure.

Kim knew without hesitation that honouring Stan with a memorial fundraiser in support of Cystic Fibrosis Canada was a way to ensure his legacy reflected his values.
