Everyone brought those thinking caps to trivia this past Tuesday and it was a success. Together we raised $3200 in donations in support of Cystic Fibrosis Canada!
Our very own coach Skylar was first diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) at the age of 16 and ever since, she has been on a mission to bring awareness, education and raise funds in hopes that one day CF will stand for “Cure Found’.
We had the opportunity to hear from 2 other members from the CF community and how CF has impacted their life. If you missed it or like to rewatch – please see a snippet of their story here. Skylar wanted to show how different this disease can progress and vary from person to person.
