In the last four decades, with more than $19 million raised by Shinerama volunteers, there has been great progress in the search for a cure.  In fact when Shinerama first began, most children with cystic fibrosis did not live long enough to attend kindergarten; today half of all Canadians with CF are expected to live into their late 30s, and even beyond.

The official Shinerama Web site is now closed and will re-launch in July 2009. If you still wish to make a donation to Shinerama, please contact us directly at info@cysticfibrosis.ca or call 1-800-378-2233.
