Look what you did!!!

✨ TOTAL: $269, 912.15 ✨

As per our local tradition, the total-to date of this year’s K-W Walk & Fun Run campaign To Make Cystic Fibrosis History was revealed on a cake! On Wednesday, July 8, 2026, several walk/run planners of the 2026 event gathered for an annual wrap-up/debrief meeting of fun, business, excitement about our current total ,and to begin plans for next year:)
While the web site remains open until end of July, and a few more cheques may arrive, major expected funds are accounted for.
The total includes online pledges, sponsorship, funds from Walk/Run day, a generous contribution of $26,100 from the Farwell4Hire Fund, and our 50% share of the amazing $93,380 from the Farwell4Hire/Cystic Fibrosis Canada 50/50 Raffle.

If you think you might like to join an inspiring group of volunteers in K-W & District, working to cure CF and supporting each other, message us and we’ll send you notices when our walk/run discussions for 2027 begin again.

A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU 🫶🏼
