We make strides because others take strides! Every year across Canada, friends, family and co-workers of people with cystic fibrosis lace up their walking shoes to participate in Great Strides™: Taking Steps to Cure Cystic Fibrosis. It’s Cystic Fibrosis Canada’s largest national fundraising event. Walk with us on Sunday, May 26, 2013. Registration will start at 10:00am and the walk begins at 11:00am.
