WHAT IS CYSTIC FIBROSIS?
(Information taken from the Cystic Fibrosis Canada website)
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common fatal genetic disease affecting Canadian children and young adults. At present, there is no cure.
CF causes various effects on the body, but mainly affects the digestive system and lungs. The degree of CF severity differs from person to person, however, the persistence and ongoing infection in the lungs, with destruction of lungs and loss of lung function, will eventually lead to death in the majority of people with CF.
Typical complications caused by cystic fibrosis are:
- Difficulty digesting fats and proteins
- Malnutrition and vitamin deficiencies because of inability to absorb nutrients
- Progressive lung damage from chronic infections and aberrant inflammation
- CF related diabetes
- Sinus infections
It is estimated that one in every 3,600 children born in Canada has CF. More than 4,300 Canadian children, adolescents, and adults with cystic fibrosis attend specialized CF clinics.
Mike Farwell is a talk show host at 570 News in Kitchener. His goal with the #Farwell4Hire campaign is to raise funds and awareness with the goal of one day curing CF. #Farwell4Hire is a local campaign where you hire Farwell to perform odds jobs around your home or business, then instead of paying him, you make a donation towards the cause.
