Charlottetown Walk for PF
About Charlottetown Walk for PF
Last year, the PEI showed up in the most meaningful way, coming together in Charlottetown to walk, remember loved ones, and stand beside those living with pulmonary fibrosis. It was a day full of heart, connection, and shared hope, and a powerful reminder of what this Island community can do when it comes together.
Join the Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation, the Robinson family, and fellow Islanders at our second annual CPFF Charlottetown Walk for Pulmonary Fibrosis on the beautiful shores of PEI. Bring your friends, bring your family, and bring your big Island heart. Together, we’ll make every step count. We will be walking rain or shine so be sure to dress for the weather.

Walk or cheer others on with east coast spirit
Come walk with us, or cheer from the sidelines as we gather in true east coast spirit to raise awareness, funds, and hope for people living with PF. After the walk, stick around for good food, warm company, and heartfelt conversation.
Despite the challenges, John lived life fully. He enjoyed support groups, coffee with friends, and organizing family pizza nights. He faced his illness with humor and grace, welcoming caregivers. Both John and Hazel attended a monthly PF support group and John looked forward to his Tuesday afternoon CPFF Zoom sessions with people from all across Canada. John passed away in November 2023, five years after his diagnosis.
Now, the Robinson family’s hope is for a medication that can halt the spread of fibrosis, especially given its potential familial nature. They walk to support people living with pulmonary fibrosis and remember John, Eric, and Jim.
Thanks PEI for officially proclaiming September as Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month!
