How did they Get Loud?:
Mr. Reid has been an active supporter of CF causes for many many years. Speaking at fundraising events, and supporting awareness campaigns on the Hill (Yellow Rose campaign) are a few examples. When CF Get Loud began to the fight to bring Trikafta to Canada, Mr. Reid was right there with us. He met in my home for 2 hours to hear us and work out a strategy for how he can help. Mr. Reid supported our efforts to successfully create a petition to rescind the changes to the PMPRB, which he later presented in the House of Commons. We are truly grateful for the ongoing communication with Mr.Reid and his staff and thank him for his continuous work to bring Trikafta to all CF warriors who would benefit from this life saving drug
