Message from the Executive Director

 
This past weekend, Canadians across the country celebrated Thanksgiving. This national holiday was a time for us to spend time with family and friends. It was a time for us to reflect on our many blessings and for us to give thanks.
So, in that spirit, I want to thank you for sharing your stories and participating in the CPFF bubbles campaign, #CPFFBubbles.
 
Thank you for everything you do — through your work, volunteerism, and philanthropy — to make the world a better place by helping CPFF to find a cure!
 
Enjoy this short clip of the various bubble pictures and buildings being lit up in red & blue.

Parkash Kaur Ahluwalia Maloni Legacy Fund

 
Parkash from 1994 in MontrealGrateful son establishes Legacy Fund to honour his mother, the Parkash Kaur Ahluwalia Maloni Legacy Fund for research.
 
Parvinder Maloni believes it was his late mother’s intervention that sent him the life-saving gift of a donor lung on Mother’s Day, 2018, five years after his diagnosis with pulmonary fibrosis. It was a medical intervention that was not available to his mother Parkash Kaur Ahluwalia Maloni, when she succumbed to the same disease in 1997 at the age of 73.

Parvinder is reaching out directly to his family members and friends to make donations to the Fund and he and his brother Narinder’s family will match all donations made to the Fund.
