The buildup can cause respiratory infections, breathing problems, chronic lung disease, malnutrition, and poor growth. CF impacts Antoine’s daily life even when he’s comparatively healthy.

If he gets an infection, he’ll have to do some treatments with a medicated steam mask he has to breathe in for thirty minutes, twice a day.” There is currently no cure for CF, but Aupry hopes that this fundraiser will make a difference for research into the disease.

“This charity is really close to my heart since my son Antoine has this disease. He was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis when he was six weeks old,” Aupry said. “Five years ago, I started speaking for CF on behalf of health partners, and I’ve also participated in UIF8BMLUP.BLF$ZTUJD'JCSPTJT)JTUPSZ*N raising money from this event for that walk.”

Local mother Christiane Aupry is organi- zing a fundraising event to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis Canada.
