All procees go to the Shinerama campaign in support of Cystic Fibrosis Canada!

May is Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month. This month encourages education in the battle against the genetic disease that affects the lungs. At the current moment, there is no cure. It affects the digestive system and lungs. It is a genetic disease when the child inherits two abnormal genes, one from each parent. 1 in every 25 Canadians carries an abnormal version of the CF gene. Cystic Fibrosis is detected via a 'sweat test' by a doctor which measures the salt content in one's sweat.
